Engineer first. Founder always.

I build companies and products at the intersection of AI and real-world impact.

Over a decade of turning ambitious ideas into products people actually use. From social games reaching millions, to helping build Uber Eats from the ground up, to scaling autonomous vehicle simulations at Cruise.

Now building privacy-first AI that runs on your device, not someone else's cloud.
