2026 Is When AI Starts to Feel Profound
Programming is the first field to feel the change. The rest of the economy will follow on a similar blueprint.
About me
I've spent nearly a decade working in AI, from a Ph.D. in Computer Science and a postdoc in deep learning to teaching at universities. I've published research, mentored master's students, and worked as a Machine Learning Engineer in enterprise before founding SilverAI. Over the past four years, I've turned that foundation into products used by more than 50 million people.
At SilverAI, we build consumer AI products that people use every day. SnapEdit makes photo editing simple, and FitRoom brings virtual try-on to life. We also support hundreds of enterprise clients through our APIs.
In my free time, I like to explore new tech and build small projects for fun. If you're interested in collaborating, partnering, or just a quick chat, feel free to reach out.
SnapEdit: AI Photo Editor
SnapEdit is ranked 26th in a16z's Top 50 Gen AI Mobile Apps, serving over 40 million users worldwide. We transform complex photo editing into simple one-tap magic.
Whether you're removing unwanted objects or enhancing photos with AI, SnapEdit just works. Photographers, content creators, and everyday users get professional results in seconds. No learning curve, no complicated tools.
We also power hundreds of enterprise clients through our API platform. They integrate our AI into their workflows because it's fast, reliable, and actually delivers on the promise of AI: making hard things easy.
FitRoom: Virtual Try-On That Actually Works
FitRoom is our latest breakthrough: virtual try-on technology that looks real. Users see exactly how clothes will look on them, no fitting room needed. The results are so good, people can't believe it's AI.
We've invested heavily in R&D to achieve photorealistic results that exceed the best in the market. We don't settle for "good enough" because shoppers deserve technology that feels like magic.
Fashion brands, retail chains, and e-commerce platforms partner with us because FitRoom transforms their customer experience. We help them offer the personalized shopping experience that was impossible just years ago.
