About
I've spent my career at the intersection of the physical world and intelligent machines: from systems engineering on Delphi's first autonomous vehicle platform and running AV programs at drive.ai, to leading product for Mapbox's Vision SDK, to launching Niantic's global visual positioning and mapping systems. I'm now exploring what's next, looking for the right opportunity to continue building the foundation that autonomous vehicles and other embodied agents need to understand and navigate their environments. If you're building in this space, I'd love to connect.
