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 emerging-tech 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 running 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 six-plus years of human-subjects research, from crew-station work on Blue Origin's MK2 lunar-lander flight deck to neuroergonomics on how people perform alongside AI. 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, as well as advocating for the optimistic and positive use cases. I have been recognized for my work within every company I've worked for, 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.
