Andres Wu

Software Engineer working on the democratization of Agentic AI safety.

About

I’m a software engineer and an avid builder. I grew up in San José, Costa Rica. At 18 I moved to the US to study Health Sciences at Cornell University. My sophomore year I switched majors from Health to Data Science and haven’t looked back since. Now, I'm in charge of building and delivering Agentic AI as solutions to the world's ever-evolving problems.
