After 20+ years in tech, independently discovering (or stumbling into) genetic algorithms in high school (2005), and being absolutely fascinated by AI ever since; I'm finally taking the leap to start Ardea and build what I've always envisioned. What I believe AI should be.

Evolutionary AI that genuinely augments human capability, forms, grows, mutates, and othogonally ideates. AI with a sensical underlying representation of the world. AI that extends rather than replaces you.

The end goal however? It's lofty. Conciousness.

About to start raising seed to make this vision real. If any of this resonates.. reach out, I'd love to connect.
