after the t-shirt company, i moved to san francisco to explore a new idea (drove across the country, spent 3 weeks in park city, utah, it was great). the idea of bring AI to a legacy industry was naturally appealing, so i started attending random conferences and yapping to people. Construction stood out, it felt huge and under-served, and i enjoyed talking to them (unlike real estate developers 🙄).

I didn't actually know anything about construction, and conversations were only taking me so far. so somehow, after 100s of reddit and linkedin DM's, I landed a job with a company out in Indiana. I spent a month working for them in a trailer out in the middle of nowhere.

it was hard at first, with even my uber driver asking me what i was doing there. but i stuck it out, and it ended up being a great experience. and now we're building ai for construction.
