About

I build technical communities that ship. As a founder, engineer, and educator, I’ve grown creation platforms to millions of makers, mentored 100+ founders across accelerators, and stood up incubator-style programs connecting academia, industry, and startups. I love turning a physical space into a living network—curating talks, hands-on workshops, and expert office hours that translate research into venture-backable products. ● Technical/Founder credibility: CEO & co-founder at Curie (deterministic agents for spatial digital twins; ex-Google Brain/Apple/Microsoft team). ● Community at scale: Co-founded GameSalad, a no-code creation platform that grew to 3M developers and reached 6,000+ schools. ● Incubator & education: Built partnerships and a Skunkworks-style team at UTx, and taught at Carnegie Mellon and The University of Texas. ● Ecosystem builder: Mentored at MaGIC (SEA’s largest accelerator), Disney Accelerator, and Techstars. Focus areas: AI community programming, founder screening, diligence, and partnerships with cloud vendors, universities, and flagship sponsors.
