Alek Turkmen

I'm the founder of Silk, a full-stack AI hedge fund that uses large language models to autonomously trade stocks.

Previously, I was an engineer at Northrop Grumman, JBB, and Parallel Distribution.

In a past life, I designed a sculpture in Queens, I've almost been expelled from college, I enjoy restoring cars, my personality over the years, and I like running.
