About
Subconscious AI | Autonomous Research Systems We build always-on product, pricing, positioning, and strategy agents. Subconscious AI creates synthetic populations that explain and predict human behavior with quant-level rigor. Organizations use our systems to backtest decisions across pricing, markets, psychology, public policy, elections, and consumer behavior before deploying them in the real world. Think AlphaFold for human behavior. Our platform replaces slow, biased survey workflows with behavioral simulation and causal experimentation at scale. We combine high performance computing, causal modeling, scientific programming, and advanced language model architectures to run rapid concept testing, conjoint analysis, pricing research, and market simulations. Serving Pharma, CPG, TMT, and policymakers. 350+ validated studies. Previously founded and exited two companies into public markets. Formerly led data and behavioral science initiatives at Two Sigma, IBM Watson Research, and Engine No. 1. BS in Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University. MBA, NYU Stern. Long-term mission: reduce anthropogenic risk through better decision systems.
