My name is Calum

I am a 23 year old tinkerer who grew up in a rural area outside a town called Summerland in the southern-interior of British Columbia, Canada. I stumbled across machine learning in 2015 and LLMs in 2018. In 2021, I dropped out of Mount Allison University to work on my startup, Trelent, full time.

Since then, I have become most known for:

• Technical dilligence on a billion-dollar AI M&A deal (plus a few 9-figure ones).
• Raising venture backing for my startup, Trelent.
• Building products used by thousands of people.

But what I am most proud of is my growth as a person. I have been incredibly fortunate to travel across North America and Europe for both work and pleasure, making many friends along the way. It has helped me learn to be a better person, a better colleague, and a better friend.

This website is an eventually-consistent collection of my learnings and experiences, in work, but also in my life. Most of the posts I have written for this website have not yet been posted.
