Born in Venezuela, William and his immediate family won the green card lottery and moved to the US to set up new roots in Florida. By the time William was a young teenager, he spent the majority of his high school years getting in shape to become a US Navy Seal Officer and later developed a passion for mathematics and computer science. William became a founder while pursuing his PhD in AI at NYU, and created Grid AI to give individuals and organizations the power to seamlessly train hundreds of cloud-based machine learning models.
