Welcome to Chaos Theory by Alex Chao, your resident Chaos Coordinator.

This space is meant to be a canvas of thoughts at the intersection of Tech, AI, Business and Life. In it we have “Chao”-Downs - a bite-sized digest of the latest in news, research, and interesting projects, with a bent towards AI/ML content. Chaos Theory itself will feature longform, original content with potentially more to come (podcasts?).

Thank you for embarking on this journey with me.

To facing the chaos together,

-Alex

About me:

Currently, I’m building next-generation AI products at Microsoft through the Office of the CTO with an emphasis on multimodal and large language models.

Over the last decade, I’ve successfully launched applied ML products across industries in health, gaming, finance, defense, energy, autonomous vehicles, semiconductors, and enterprise tech.

I’ve held product management roles at SambaNova Systems and C3.ai building out ML Platforms and deep learning offerings to enterprise customers. I continue to be an active ML practitioner and was the first data science hire at Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group working on building large scale computer vision and sensor fusion algorithms for self-driving cars.

I’m motivated to help raise the next generation of data scientists and product leaders and have taught and mentored at places like General Assembly, Springboard, and Product School to equip students for their future success.

Proud alum of UC Berkeley! Go Bears!
