# Ameena Golding > Building Location: Berkeley, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ameena ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Alkira, Inc. Jan 2021 – Present | Berkeley, California, United States ### Special Projects @ Stealth Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Berkeley, California, United States AI projects for the UAE's R&D innovation arms ### Co-Founder, CTO @ Telos.AI Jan 2020 – Jan 2023 | Berkeley, California, United States Founded and led a team at a UC Berkeley-funded startup building an OS for knowledge management and large world simulation via digital mirror objects of everything in an enterprise: from IoT objects, to oil rigs, to PDFs. Built with the principles of MMO games (like Star Citizen) but for simulating enterprise objects instead of game objects. All interactive via a spatial interface and computable via intelligent agents (Oracles in the Telosphere). Similar to Palantir's Foundry platform which we didn't know at the time (their "ontology" analogy is our "teleology" analogy! ha!) Inspired by Minority Report's interface that facilitates near instant compilation and understanding of massive amounts of disparate information. Collaborators inc. Berkeley AI Research Lab, the Visual Thinking Lab, the Santa Fe Institute, the OED Researchers Group, Northwestern University, NSF Innovation Corps. Research areas included deep learning models for text-to-glyphs (models that can express abstract ideas via real-time drawings), semantic search (query understanding, question-answering, etc), and multi-agent systems. 1 of 11 companies selected globally with <1% acceptance rate. ### Engineering Fellow @ Kleiner Perkins Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco, California, United States ### Deep Learning Researcher @ Berkeley RISE Lab Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 Vision models at the edge, differential privacy, efficient ML. Spin-out of graduate courses I took in deep RL and operating systems. Advised by Joey Gonzalez, John Kubiatowicz. ### Undergraduate Researcher @ University of California, Berkeley Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | EDRL Lab Worked on theoretical models of intelligence in Dor Abrahamson's embodied learning lab, to understand how mathematical objects emerge in consciousness. Developed algorithm to extract physical gesture features from real-time video streams, used to train model for an embodied AI math instructor called the Mathematics Imagery Trainer (RNNs, LSTMs). https://edrl.berkeley.edu/projects/gesture-enhancement-of-virtual-agent-mathematics-tutor/ https://edrl.berkeley.edu/projects/kinemathics/ https://edrl.berkeley.edu/people/ameena-golding/ ### Machine Learning Research Intern @ Symmetry Labs Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco, California, United States Deep learning for music understanding. Worked on projects for panorama music festival (frank ocean), nike, and others. ## Education ### Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Computer Science, Philosophy University of California, Berkeley ### High School Diploma Stanford Online High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/ameenagold --- Source: https://flows.cv/ameena JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/ameena/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-10
