About
My name is Chris Dagher (pronounced da-gər), and my pronouns are he/him/his. I run QTex AI, a tech startup where we make software that supercharges engineering productivity. I’m also a Ph.D. candidate at Boise State University studying computing. My research focuses on redesigning the AI compute pipeline from the ground up, with the goal of eliminating backpropagation in the training process.
I’m passionate about a few things: good design, product development, well-roundedness, and making meaningful things. These passions drive me to fully understand problems, so I can provide the most impactful and beneficial solutions.
Some non-engineering things I’m passionate about: Mediterranean food, theater and the arts, mountain biking, hummus, sustainability, and people.
