I previously graduated from Harvard College with a joint concentration in Physics + Computer Science and a secondary in Statistics. Harvard is filled with irreverent polymaths, prodigious wimps, sociopathic careerists, elitist sovereigns, and first-order contrarians. It is anything but boring or neurotypical, and I loved it.

At university, I flirted with game-theoretic models of social behavior, quantum complexity solutions to the black hole firewall paradox, shortened proofs of the Gottesman–Knill theorem, interpretable machine learning algorithms, probabilistic programming, gambling arbitrages to justify directed information, options trading under power laws, and research on predictors of student activism.

My senior thesis is on causal inference and was nominated by MP Brenner for the Hoopes Prize; it blends multiple-hypothesis testing, Bayesian inference, and supervised learning.

I don't remember ever reading an undergraduate work on a topic this technical that has such maturity and clarity. Parth ... politely listened and then to his credit went off in his own direction. I very much appreciate his independence of thought.

Parth possesses that perfectionist drive needed to turn vague ideas into well-crafted experiences. He doesn’t like to call himself a designer, yet he has an exceptional eye for aesthetics that effortlessly recognizes and appreciates visual harmony. He builds on that with his unique ability to distill and explore complex ideas that are not only surgical but also convey a narrative with emotional depth. All of that makes Parth ridiculously deliberate in his thought process, knowing exactly where to look to uncover insights that others might miss.
Parth is, by far, the most independent thinker I've ever met. He finds useful connections between (seemingly) unrelated topics. I recall staring at him in disbelief before he convinced me to build our ML platform from an esoteric enterprise sales technique that he read somewhere.Time and time again I would realize that he just gets it. Understanding "it" lets him exploit deficiencies in competitor products and triple down on moats that win. I have never met anyone who can strategize meticulously and flawlessly on so many levels. Parth also has an unnerving ability to describe the future. He gets people excited about his bold visions and is able to recruit across a broad swath of roles, convincing some of the best people in the world to "give a shit."
