About

Hello! 👋 I'm Gregory Croisdale, the founding engineer at Khaki. Previously, I was a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan studying Human-Computer Interaction. My research was focused around improving communication mechanisms between Humans and AI to support common good, but have since become disenchanted with academia.

I'm also a huge philosophy, art, music, and food nerd. I dabble in 3d Modeling (Blender is my all-time favorite piece of software), violin, ukulele, and overambituous book-purchasing.
