Founder, engineer, and lifelong tinkerer. I’m working on a future where intelligent machines are part of everyday life.
Currently building CosmicBrain AI Robotics. Real places. Human possibilities.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE ROBOTS
Still asking “what if?”
I’ve been building robots since I was seven. My mother is a physics professor; circuit boards were on the kitchen table before homework was.
That curiosity has taken me from building a company in a dorm room to co-founding Mused.com, space engineering, and post-training data for Grok at SpaceXAI (prev xAI). Today, it’s what drives my work at CosmicBrain AI.
I’m drawn to the place where software meets something you can touch. An idea becomes a mechanism. A model becomes motion. Something that lived in a notebook starts working in the world.
I want to build technology that advances humanity, and I like meeting people who are asking big questions and getting their hands dirty finding the answers.
The longer story on LinkedIn02 / ON MY WORKBENCH
I’m interested in the whole loop:
how robots learn, move, and improve.
Building the data and deployment stack behind Physical AI — connecting teleoperation, training data, and the practical work of bringing robots into real environments.

MimicXR: exploring VR teleoperation, motion retargeting, and the control systems that turn a person’s movements into robot commands.
Video-to-robot pipelines: extracting motion, mapping it to a robot’s body, and turning demonstrations into structured training episodes.
A recent hackathon experiment combining RealSense depth capture, scene reconstruction, and a robot digital twin.
See the experimentA SMALL DETOUR
Two links, two angles, one moving point. This is forward kinematics: a small piece of the math that connects a robot’s joints to the world.
Move the sliders and watch the arm follow. No big model needed — just geometry.

03 / CONNECTING THE DOTS
Different worlds.
The same urge to build.
Founder & CEO · San Francisco Bay Area
The data and deployment stack behind Physical AI.
post training data · Palo Alto
Post-training data for Grok 1, 2, and 3, including RLHF, reinforcement learning, data curation, and model training.

Co-Founder
Scaled to 10 million users in 10 months, sold to all major Ivy League schools, and counted Sergey Brin as a customer.
Co-Founder & CEO
Built smart wearable technology, raised venture funding, filed a patent, and exited the company. An early lesson in turning an idea into something real.

05 / NOTES IN THE MARGINS
Why learned policies and classical control belong in the same conversation.
↗ PHYSICAL AITelemetry, observability, and the infrastructure behind useful machines.
↗ BUILDING IN PUBLICA hackathon experiment in connecting real-world scenes with robot simulation.
↗GOOD CONVERSATIONS BUILD GOOD THINGS
Robotics, AI, an interesting engineering problem, or an idea you can’t leave alone — I’d love to hear about it.
