Intrepid Engineer
creative & effective
I'm a technical, social and creative engineer, operator and investor who loves solving challenging problems to progress humanity forward.
From 2010 - 2023 I worked at big companies, founded and worked at small startups, built and managed teams internationally, traveled frequently, and technically consulted, advised and invested in companies.
Through it all, I always tried to push the boundaries with passion for entrepreneurship.
