At my core, I’m a creator. My tools are mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science, and I focus on building creations that bridge the digital and physical worlds.

I’ve worked as a sous-chef, engineer, professor, artist, CTO, and CEO, and I’ve founded multiple organizations and endeavors along the way. Though I value self-reliance, I often lead teams, aiming to set an example as we work together toward shared goals.

I believe the most elegant designs are those that are difficult to create but simple to reproduce. I focus on “easy” problems: those with solutions that can be easily replicated.

A key consequence of focusing on easy problems is that solutions can have a profound commercial impact. This arises from the ease of replication, which serves primarily as a scaling advantage rather than a competitive disadvantage—an advantage that is partly protected by intellectual property but sustained mainly through continuous innovation.

Replication thrives on robustness, reliability, and avoiding complexity. For me, these are not just guiding principles; they are the result of my pursuit of order and permanence—a pursuit that fuels my fascination with dynamics, the passage of time, and the second law of thermodynamics.

I’m an optimist, though not a techno-optimist. I believe in people and their capacity to overcome any challenge, with technology serving as a powerful tool to improve the human condition.
