About

Physicist turned engineer turned enabler.

I've spent over a decade making science and technology usable, in classrooms, aerospace, scientific labs, and beyond. I lead AI enablement at Zillow, and I run Chaotic Curiosity, a studio building emerging technology solutions (XR, AI, robotics) for museums, universities, startups, and research labs.

Before Zillow I was XR/AI Engineering Lead at Blue Origin, where I built XR and spatial capability from zero across every vehicle program and worked inside ITAR / export-controlled environments: the regulated-data side of responsible AI. I started as a physicist, spent six years coordinating university physics labs, and I've never stopped teaching.

What ties it together is how people interface with technology. I hold an M.S. in Human Factors and have done human-subjects research since 2019, from crew-station work on Blue Origin's MK2 lunar-lander flight deck to VR studies of safety behavior with EEG and eye tracking. The more capable a system gets, the more everything rides on whether a person can actually use it.

Today I'm happiest when I'm shipping: agents and internal tools, ML pipelines, immersive systems, and humanoid robots that learn to move, and making the case for the good uses of AI. My work has been recognized at Blue Origin and ASU, and I am a Space for Humanity citizen-astronaut finalist.

What I stand for

For the benefit of Earth and the diversity of its inhabitants.

AI is powerful enough to change everything. I choose to use it for good causes.

It is not enough to focus on building alone. We must share what we build with others.

Keep the human at the center: the more capable the machine, the more it rides on the person using it.
