My passion is to build healthy teams which build high-quality, cutting-edge products. I’m a people-first manager who believes in growing individuals to their maximum potential. As a leader, I aim to create a clear objective and mission statement to pave the path to success while protecting the team from schedule stress. I value trust, accountability, and integrity. I contribute technically through curiosity and leveraging my broad background in science and engineering. I have experience in augmented reality, computer vision, video compression, image processing, optimization, service architecture, electrical engineering, and machine learning. My goal is to be able to deeply understand the consequences of technical decisions, while empowering others to drive decisions where possible.
