I get excited about hardware, energy, science and software.
I started in seismic simulation, ran the software team of a micro nuclear reactor startup, and now work as a Forward Deployed Engineer at Tribe AI, building AI for a Fortune 500 financial-services company. On the side, I follow AI closely, keep building with it, and I'm still trying to figure out how it can revolutionize hardware engineering.

What I'm building
Forge: vibe-coding a drone
A workspace where AI agents design hardware. Parts, calculations, CAD, costs and tests are typed Python, so an agent can change the design and every consequence stays checkable. First build: a drone, designed in 3D, every part bought, assembly next.
