student developer from the bay area
hi. i'm tristan. i'm a 17yo from the bay area. i like building creative and innovative solutions. i enjoy attending hackathons and building side projects. i've done my fair share in web development so now i'm looking to expand my skills towards ai/ml.
i will be a research engineer at dmodel (YC S24) this summer, improving black-box model interpretability. i will also be building TimeWise, an AI-powered task decomposition tool to break down complex tasks into actionable steps.
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 to 60+ students, led a course at CENG on modern javascript frameworks, and mentored 40+ students at a local math program.
beyond tech, i enjoy reading philosophy, thinking, and playing the piano. learn more about my life.
you can reach me at me@tristangee.com or my linkedin.
