My name is Taha Ashtiani. Few things about me:

• I write a research blog on prediction markets.
• Previously I led AI projects at Datatonic, in close partnership and mostly funded by Google. Sesame Street, Canaccord Genuity (100B AUM), Verisk (NASDAQ:VRSK), and MLS (Major League Soccer) were some of the recent clients.
• Before that I led data infra and mlops at Flinks. I scaled up the data and ML pipelines serving billions of rows of financial data and ML predictions for majority of fintech industry in Canada (most notably powering Wealthsimple banking on-ramp). Flinks raised a $103M Series B!
• My training has been in CS and math, but most of my core engineering skills I have gained through years of hacking hardware and software. I also know startups very well.
• I also enjoy spending my spare time on things like prediction markets, poker, fermi math, meta-rationality, and AI alignment.
