Well, I grew up in New Mexico, Los Alamos, New Mexico, which now Oppenheimer famous, but it really was the middle of nowhere.

And I remember I did all these math competitions, all these computer science competitions, but then

I knew I wanted to do really big things and it was like not exactly clear how or what the exact paths to do that would be.

And I had a friend who was really into programming.

And, you know, after high school, got an internship in the Valley.

I think his first internship was at Palantir.

And he was kind of this influence for me.

And so after I finished high school, I ended up working at Quora here in Silicon Valley.

And then I worked there for a year.

I took a gap year to work there.

And then I went to MIT.

And I was 19 when I worked at Quora.
