Dina YerlanHey, I'm Dina 👋
I like to build products that make people's lives better. I believe AI can make our future amazing in ways we can barely imagine today, if we do it right.I'm cofounder and CEO of Matrices, a platform to manage a fleet of agents. Before this, I led product at Adobe Firefly, deployed ML solutions for Fortune 100 companies at BCG, and was a founding engineer at Source AI (acquired).

I studied Computer Engineering and HCI at CMU, where I worked on RoboTutor, an AI tutor to teach children math without any adult supervision, and attempted my first startup building wearables for frontline healthcare workers.

Outside of work, I'm a founding member of AGI House, a community where hackers build cool stuff together, and I also angel invest in friends' startups.

In my free time, I love films (hope to make a movie someday!) and gravitate toward hands-on activities away from screens like painting, cooking, visiting nice bookshops and flipping through architecture books. I also like walking a lot (20K+ steps daily) and find my best ideas emerge on foot.

I live in San Francisco and the best way to reach me is via my email dinayerlan01@gmail.com. I also sometimes post things on Twitter.
