About
I’ve built my career alongside the rise of modern AI - starting in the early days at Meta, then growing an AI robotics startup that was later acquired by Amazon in 2024. What drives me isn’t chasing super intelligence / rocket science, but applying real tech to real problems. I’m deeply curious about how AI can transform complex industries like healthcare, freight and supply chain - where the impact is tangible and the challenges are messy, human, and worth solving.
