At Tesla, I became very interested in AI applications, particularly in autopilot technology, which led me to explore AI's potential in different domains.

I pursued my interests in math and sciences relentlessly, eventually studying mechanical engineering and working in aerospace before joining Tesla.

During my year off, I learned about various fields, including nuclear engineering and AI, which later contributed to my work.

At Google, I was the principal filmmaker for VR, where I developed the Jump ecosystem for live-action VR footage.

Augmented reality (AR) is a culmination of many fields, requiring expertise in computer vision, graphics, and real-time engineering to create immersive experiences.

After exiting my first company, I spent time working at startups and venture builders to gain experience and learn from faster-growing companies.

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.

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.

Over the past 10 years, I've applied strategy blocks in various high-stakes contexts at companies like Headspace, Meta, and VRChat, helping to align complex topics with senior leaders.
