My Story
I’m a founder turned product lead + biz ops operator turned investor with backgrounds in engineering (CS/ME/EE/MatSci). I’ve done almost everything across several different industries and can learn just about anything.
My finance experiences were at S&P Capital IQ as a quant developer and Disney in corp dev and strategy.
When I worked at Disney in 2012.
My first startup experience was as a co-founder of Artemek (defense tech), and a few years later, as an early team member (aka an undefined role) at a startup in the MEMS space. My product experience was 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.
I was last at Tesla, where I started as the sole product manager for solar and survived as the head of product + engineering manager for almost 3 years, and did everything from biz ops to installing solar roof 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!
