About Ken King

๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi, I'm Ken. I'm passionate about building technology that not only solves problems but also drives positive change. Over the past two years, I've been focused on addressing health inequities within our healthcare systems using Generative AI. If you're interested in this mission, let's connect.I'm completing my Master's in Computer Science at Virginia Tech, where Iโ€™ve published research in natural language processing, healthcare, security and accessibility under the guidance of Dr. Denis Graฤanin and Dr. Mohamed Azab. During this time I taught cybersecurity (as a GTA) and conducted blockchain and extended reality research (as a GRA). I also interned at Amazon AWS AI twice, working on cutting-edge machine learning applications.During undergrad at Virginia Tech, I graduated a year early with magna cum laude honors, played Division I Football, engaged in undergraduate research and climbed the ranks as an unpaid intern at college rideshare startup (basically an early version of Uber ShareX but for college kids). At the time a lot of people thought I was wasting my time working for free at a startup that would likely fail. But I knew it would pay off in ways I couldnโ€™t see. After our company exited, a teammate helped get me a referral at Amazon. A few years later, I teamed up with the former CEO to launch our current venture. For any other young people who might be reading this and also want to waste time chasing dreams, I hope you can find a little motivation in my own personal story.Between degrees, I spent two months in Colombia, living in the Andes Mountains, working remotely, and embracing the local cultureโ€”an experience that has shaped my personal and professional aspirations.P.S. The background image on my profile was taken by me at El Parque Nacional del Chicamocha, Santander, Colombia!(Thoughts are my own, not my employers.)
