I spend most of my time these days working on interesting engineering problems, particularly in controls and systems. I enjoy the elegance of control theory and how it allows us to understand and manipulate complex dynamic systems. The rest of the time, I like playing games like Go -- and chess (and like solving the occasional puzzle)
I appreciate thoughtful disagreements and like having my mind change about something. I've often found these moments to be most critical.
Currently, I'm focused on developing a strong mental framework for creating hypotheses about different industries, especially in the realm of control systems and automation. And occasionally writing about my thoughts on here.
Previously I:
Was an early employee at a cool drone company, and learned how to fly FPV drones. I work a few hours a week as a drone show engineer :D
Led software and wearables for a now acquired high performance athletics company
Did research and engineering with Purdue & Ethereum Foundation on ZK Proofs
Moved out @ 17 + played tennis in SoCal for 6 months after graduating high school
Played an abnormal amount of chess growing up (and represented Canada at intl. tournaments + SPFGI 3x)
Analyzed satellite telemetry data @ JPL
Built Lithium Titanate (last forever) batteries
Wrote a paper on how the market for lemons perpetuates poverty traps with Solar4Africa
Did other things & (kinda) failed – like creating an AI card game similar to Cards Against Humanity, trying to run my own online electronics shop -- and going to school...
