student developer from the bay area
Hi. I'm Tristan. I'm a 17 year old from San Francisco, Bay Area. I like building creative and innovative solutions. I enjoy attending hackathons and building side projects. I'm interested in fullstack and AI/ML.
I am currently a research engineer at dmodel (YC S24), improving black-box model interpretability. On the side, I'm building TimeWise, a modern version of Todoist, powered by AI.
In my free time, I tutor students, study math, and research autonomous racing systems (Celeritas).
Previously, I started Cognitio Learning, an educational nonprofit where I designed and taught a curriculum on python, led a course at CENG on modern javascript frameworks, and mentored students at a local math program.
Beyond tech, I enjoy reading philosophy, thinking, and playing the piano. You can learn more about me through my blogs, projects, or reach me at me@tristangee.com, LinkedIn, X/Twitter.
