Making AI Outputs Accessible to Diverse Minds
I'm Nonye Okonkwo - a former medical doctor who traded clinical practice for AI research because I saw a critical gap: superintelligent systems that can't effectively communicate with the humans they're meant to serve.
From Medicine to Machine Learning
Become an early donor in Nonye's unique journey to becoming an intelligence-as-a-service deployment expert by donating to the cultivation of a unique skillset that combines medical-grade systems thinking, product management, and AI engineering
Who Is Nonye?
I'm a medical graduate with over $60K+ in competitive research grants who's now contributing to training datasets for major LLMs. I combine subjective rigor and an extensive American education with ML to build tools that make AI outputs genuinely accessible to a wider variety of neurotypes.
My Track Record:
🔹 Published engineering research in peer-reviewed journals
🔹 Won grants and awards from PG&E, NIH, GE, and APA Foundation
🔹 Designed ADHD education tool that improved treatment outcomes
🔹 Trained SOTA AI models with OutlierAI and xAI
What You Are Funding
Current Needs:
→ 🧠 Extended mental bandwidth for reducing cognitive load when performing real-world usability studies on ambient AI workflows
→ 🥗 Nutrient dense diet to increase my ability to abstract and catalog hard-to-reach feedback on multimodal AI ergonomics
→ 📚 Educational hardware to produce physical infographics that will be used to translate difficult ML concepts for diverse audiences
Why You Should Donate Today
I am a black woman who is free of the woke mind and risked it all to independently rebuild my reputation after speaking up and changing careers.
I am currently homeless and building my AI portfolio to qualify for a merit-based applied engineering role at companies like Anthropic, Meta and xAI. I live in San Francisco at the Baldwin Hotel Homeless Shelter and spend my free time studying RL and making AI art.
