When I left Google, I needed time to explore what others were doing and to figure out what I wanted to pursue next. I made a VR project for The Weather Channel that became my favorite because it was immediately apparent and hilarious, showcasing how comedy can be created in VR without relying on traditional slapstick humor.

After Tesla, I worked on augmented and virtual reality to gain experience in different domains, although it was too early for practical applications at that time.

I eventually moved to California to work at Google, where I was in online sales and operations, while continuing to explore side projects.

Introducing Google Beam, a new AI-first video communications platform that transforms 2D video streams into a realistic 3D experience using advanced AI models.

I joined Google Brain in 2019, where I met many of the founding team members of Character.AI and spent about four years working on development tools.

During my 12 years at Google, I focused on shaping a culture of creativity and innovation by training people in curiosity, empathy, and experimentation.

I was really excited about the developer keynote at Google I/O, where we discussed how we're enabling multimodal capabilities, like taking images to code and using AI to help with rapid coding and idea exploration.

After my treatment, I realized that my job at Google had evolved away from building products for users, and I wanted to work with people who were innovating the future.

We decided to optimize for quickly establishing the virtual reality ecosystem to understand what works and what doesn't in VR, which required us to take risks and build products rapidly.
