At my core, I’m a cre­ator. My tools are math­e­mat­ics, physics, engi­neer­ing, and com­put­er sci­ence, and I focus on build­ing cre­ations that bridge the dig­i­tal and phys­i­cal worlds.

I’ve worked as a sous-chef, engi­neer, pro­fes­sor, artist, CTO, and CEO, and I’ve found­ed mul­ti­ple orga­ni­za­tions and endeav­ors along the way. Though I val­ue self-reliance, I often lead teams, aim­ing to set an exam­ple as we work togeth­er toward shared goals.

I believe the most ele­gant designs are those that are dif­fi­cult to cre­ate but sim­ple to repro­duce. I focus on “easy” prob­lems: those with solu­tions that can be eas­i­ly replicated.

A key con­se­quence of focus­ing on easy prob­lems is that solu­tions can have a pro­found com­mer­cial impact. This aris­es from the ease of repli­ca­tion, which serves pri­mar­i­ly as a scal­ing advan­tage rather than a com­pet­i­tive disadvantage—an advan­tage that is part­ly pro­tect­ed by intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty but sus­tained main­ly through con­tin­u­ous innovation.

Repli­ca­tion thrives on robust­ness, reli­a­bil­i­ty, and avoid­ing com­plex­i­ty. For me, these are not just guid­ing prin­ci­ples; they are the result of my pur­suit of order and permanence—a pur­suit that fuels my fas­ci­na­tion with dynam­ics, the pas­sage of time, and the sec­ond law of thermodynamics.

I’m an opti­mist, though not a tech­no-opti­mist. I believe in peo­ple and their capac­i­ty to over­come any chal­lenge, with tech­nol­o­gy serv­ing as a pow­er­ful tool to improve the human condition.
