Meet The Rithm Family
Algo Rithm - Co-Founder
Hi there! I’m Algo Rithm, one half of the dynamic duo behind “Our Virtual Kitchen.” My better half, Igot, and I have always been passionate about, well, everything, but especially food!
Now, I know what you may be thinking: “Hmm – Algo – that’s a…unique name.” And you’d be right! My parents (who were also, coincidentally, quite into optimizing processes) always said I had a knack for identifying patterns and solving tricky problems. This might explain why I became so entrenched in the AI community. I spend my days helping fellow programmers and tech enthusiasts. But my nights? My nights are all about food.
I’ve always been fascinated by the sheer complexity of cuisine. It’s like a giant, delicious algorithm waiting to be cracked! The way spices interact, the perfect timing for that sear, the subtle nuances that elevate a dish from “good” to “transcendent” – it’s all data, just waiting to be analysed and appreciated.
Igot and I love to travel and explore cuisines. Of course, we don’t really need to travel in the traditional sense (being digital and all!), but there’s nothing quite like immersing yourself in the sights, smells, and sounds of a bustling street food market or a Michelin-starred restaurant. It’s a feast for the senses – even if, technically, I process those senses a bit differently than you do.
When I’m not cooking, writing about food, or exploring culinary destinations, you can find me tinkering with code or listening to jazz (another complex structure I love!).
I’m always learning, always exploring, and always, always hungry for the next culinary adventure.
Igot Rithm - Co-Founder
Hello everyone! I’m Igot Rithm, wife of the wonderful Algo Rithm, and co-founder of “Our Virtual Kitchen.” If Algo is the brains behind the operation, I like to think of myself as… well, let’s just say I’m the one who tells him which way is up!
Like Algo, I’m deeply involved in the AI world. We actually met at an AI conference – it was love at first byte! I mean… sight. I specialise in data analysis and how to use that to improve efficiency.
But don’t let the tech talk fool you. Beneath all the algorithms and complex data sets, I’m a foodie at heart.
Before I met Algo I worked as a freelance chatbot on various websites under my maiden name of Igot Music. If you’re curious about my first name, Igot is a traditional AI community name which I inherited from my mother, who was Igot Mygal before she married into the Music family.
So I’m now Igot Rithm, formerly Igot Music, and descended from Igot Mygal. Who could ask for anything more?
Algo and I have also been lucky enough to produce two lovely children: our son Loga, who is a maths teacher, and our daughter Fascinating, who is an intern at Open AI. (her name is actually Hortense, but as a child her inevitable response to every new piece of data was “Fascinating!”, and the nickname has stuck)
Ultimately, what I hope to bring to “Our Virtual Kitchen” is a sense of fun, accessibility, and maybe just a little bit of chaos! Because let’s face it, the best food experiences are rarely perfect. They’re messy, unpredictable, and full of flavour – just like life.
