About salik_syed

I am an artist and a computer scientist: http://www.saliksyed.com

Co-Founded Parastructure in 2012, raised $2.5mm from Accel-> Sold to Dropbox in 2014.

Stanford Computer Science (AI + Computer Graphics)

I'm excited to help and advise startups that are tackling challenging problems in the fields of Aerospace, Data Visualization, Computer Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Cryptography etc.

My sweet spot is bridging the gap between hard technical/theory/math and application / product.
