About

I’m an engineer.

I love automation and making things that have never existed before.

I admire people shipping great products, dreaming big, and getting it done.

I admire people and companies who embody the following:

  1. Truly mission driven.
    • A company with a clear purpose ensures efficient and focused progress. Key decisions are easier: if it is not helping us achieve our mission faster, then it is not important.
  2. Focused on engineering, on the design, and on the product.
    • It is difficult to make products that are useful, that look good, and that people love.
  3. Fast paced, minimal barriers to get things done.
    • This is a vertical company that facilitates fast, tight feedback loops. There should be little excuse for not making progress.
  4. Pragmatic.
    • aka “no bullshit”. Full transparency, high communication, no egos.
  5. Failure is undesirable, but expected. However, lack of innovation is unacceptable.
    • There is risk to innovation, but it is how we make the future brighter.
