My Story
I’m a founder-turned-product lead + biz ops operator turned investor with engineering skills (CS/ME/EE/MatSci). I’ve worked across several industries and can learn just about anything.
My finance span includes roles at S&P Capital IQ as a quant developer and at Disney in corporate development and strategy.
When I worked at Disney in 2012.
My first startup experience was co-founding Artemek (defense tech), and a few years later, joining an early team (an undefined role) at a startup in the MEMS space.
My early product management experiences were at Apple, eBay, and Google across software and hardware.
In 2016, I moved to Bogotá and lived in Colombia and Mexico for over a year, which inspired me to return as an angel investor.
As an installer and crew lead. I used to climb up roofs and install many of the products.
In 2020, I joined Tesla as the sole product manager for solar, then survived as the head of product and engineering manager for almost 3 years, doing everything from biz ops to installing solar roofs as an installer. I consider this the craziest job I’ve ever had, not the last, though.
I left Tesla to spend time with my father in his final years before he passed away - he had dementia, and I knew he didn’t have much time left. We moved to Korea for a couple of years. During this time, I invested in and helped founders, some of whom became my closest friends.
Seoul, Korea, October 2023, when we took him out of the nursing home for the weekend.
These days I’m excited about AI, semiconductors and energy, whether it be investing or building!
