Hello I'm

Jonathan Li

I’ve been messing around making what I think is cool stuff—ai stuff, website designs, hackathon projects—for the past six years.

who am i?

I’m Jonathan, canadian ai researcher, web designer, computer programmer, entrepreneur, gymgoer, piano player...

I started coding six years ago when I was captivated by the magic behind a neural network. Now I’ve graduated from high school, currently working at Cohere doing machine learning stuff.

I’m interested in pursuing life’s big questions—which is likely why my interests bounce around so often, from AI (to help me) to physics (to explain our world) to entrepreneurship (to fund my exploration)—though I’m honestly unlikely to succeed, at least on my own.
