# Diego Prime

> 21-year-old builder from Mexico City. Obsessed with AI. Coding, LLMs, and creativity. Currently in learning mode — building developer tools, training RL agents, and studying transformer architectures from scratch.

## About

Diego Prime is a self-taught engineer and entrepreneur focused on AI and developer tools. He started his first company (Cryptoversidad, a blockchain ed-tech startup) at 17, ran it profitably for 3 years with a team of 6, and taught at 2 universities in Latin America. Now he's deep in AI — building tools, studying ML theory, and shipping daily.

## AI Depth

- Studied transformer architectures from scratch (whiteboards, Karpathy's nanochat fork, Stanford CME295)
- Wrote a detailed synthesis of Leopold Aschenbrenner's "Situational Awareness" on AGI timelines
- Built a comprehensive AI theory reference covering neural networks through RLHF
- Vibe-tested nanochat (small LLM) against GPT-5 across 12 prompt categories
