Devina Kumar
Lockout count: 5
Worst lockout: Number 4 sucked ass. I was taking out the trash at 2 am in my PJs and realized that I left my key in the apartment building. It was right before a long weekend, so everyone was gone. I didn’t feel like eating the $300 locksmith fee so I just waited until someone came to the door 3 hours later to grab their DoorDashed McDonald’s. Shoutout to the Golden Arches or I’d probably still be out there.
Background: Before Dave, Devina was a software engineer at Amazon, where she built large language models as part of the AGI team and trained machine learning systems used by hundreds of millions of Alexa users. She’s passionate about making cutting-edge tech useful in everyday life—and believes your time is too valuable to waste on getting locked out.
