At my core, I’m a creator.

As a pro­fes­sor and entre­pre­neur, I work at the inter­sec­tion of math­e­mat­ics, physics, engi­neer­ing, and com­put­er sci­ence. What I cre­ate may be a com­pa­ny, a prod­uct, an art instal­la­tion, a design, a research paper, or a concept—but always with the aim of con­nect­ing ideas and sys­tems across the dig­i­tal and phys­i­cal worlds.

Over the years, I’ve been a sous-chef, engi­neer, teacher, researcher, artist, CTO, CEO, and founder of mul­ti­ple orga­ni­za­tions. I val­ue self-reliance, but I often work in teams—leading by exam­ple as we pur­sue ambi­tious, shared goals.

I focus on what I call “easy” prob­lems: chal­lenges that are hard to design for yet sim­ple to repro­duce. Solu­tions that can be repli­cat­ed eas­i­ly are the ones that scale, extend­ing their com­mer­cial and soci­etal impact. I’ve been grant­ed many patents over the years, but pro­tec­tion alone is nev­er enough—lasting suc­cess comes from pair­ing it with con­tin­u­ous innovation.

Repli­ca­tion thrives on robust­ness, reli­a­bil­i­ty, and ele­gance over com­plex­i­ty. For me, these are not just out­comes but guid­ing principles—rooted in my pur­suit of order and per­ma­nence. That pur­suit fuels my fas­ci­na­tion with dynam­ics, time, and the sec­ond law of thermodynamics.

I’m an optimist—though not a tech­no-opti­mist. I believe in peo­ple, in our abil­i­ty to over­come any chal­lenge, and in technology’s pow­er to improve the human condition.
