馃憢

I have built technologies, products, teams, and companies. I’m currently co-founder of That Works (https://thatworks.ai). Before that I built at-scale technologies and teams at Meta in Silicon Valley and co-founded Two Big Ears, an AR/VR audio tech company, which was acquired by Meta.

This is where I (occasionally) write about what I think.
