I’m drawn to ambitious technologies and the challenge of making them useful. Right now, I’m cofounder and CEO of Plover Labs, an applied AI research lab building self-improving agentic engineering systems.
Before Plover, I founded and led InPerson, a venture-backed telepresence company where we used neural rendering to make photorealistic 3D video calls possible. At Apple, I researched AI agents for Apple Vision Pro, and at Carnegie Mellon, I wrote my master’s thesis on safe reinforcement learning for robotics. Over the years, I’ve built all kinds of things with friends, including assistive devices for blind people and haptic gloves for virtual sensation.
Outside of work, I’m a competitive sprint freestyler, a former setter for Carnegie Mellon’s volleyball team, and a frequent eater of Mission burritos. Occasionally, I write and make small tools.
