I strive to improve the world around me by solving important and hard problems using Engineering, Data, and Product. An adaptable and focused individual with 8 years of experience in full-stack development and architecture, prototyping->scale, root cause analysis, secure software development, regulatory compliance. I enjoy systemic thinking using first principals, scientific method and modular reuse. I love teamwork, leading by example, mentoring, motivating and growing team members, recruiting top talent.
I've worked on electric vehicles, adjacent green tech, cryptocurrency, fintech, mentored many startups and lived and breathed silicon valley for the last decade.
Next decade is all about sharing and teaching. Speaking is my way to spread ideas and experiences. I speak about sustainability, cars, electric vehicles, self-driving vehicles, cryptocurrency, online shopping, economy, organization science, startups, entrepreneurship, distributed systems and many more topics.
Through my various roles and jobs, I've learned that
* Who you are is far more important than what you do
* Reputation, time and money are precious resources
* Reflect daily and often
* Speed and ego are best avoided
* It's okay to say: I don’t know, I changed my mind. Be shameless, ask for help
* Surround yourself with the best people, best people should want to work with you
* Be immensely curious about how and why things work. Curiosity=Intelligence
* Habitually simplify
* Embrace your idiosyncrasies and celebrate them in others
If any of this resonates with you and you'd like to join forces please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. I'm always happy to chat over email or coffee.
