Summary
Frances He is a founder-CEO and engineer with eight years of experience building AI-driven products at the intersection of physics, software, and crypto. He leads Yolominds/SeaCows, creator of the world’s first NFT AMM with an AI price oracle, and has raised institutional crypto funding while owning product, strategy, and mechanism-design decisions. Earlier work includes scaling attention models for game-focused generative AI, robotics simulation and state estimation for an XPRIZE team, and enterprise AI recruiting platforms. Trained in physics with a CS minor at UIUC, Frances blends quantitative rigor with product sense to make tradeoffs that favor security and long-term protocol sustainability. He publishes on CS/physics/product design and maintains open-source work that surfaces his practical research into generative models and tooling. A practical polymath, he tries to “learn something about everything and everything about something,” applying that curiosity to hard, cross-disciplinary problems.
