I’m a product leader in autonomous driving focused on turning advanced E2E AI into real-world transportation products.

Since joining Wayve in 2024, I’ve worked across AI Driver product strategy and execution, including ADAS, robotaxi initiatives, E2E compatible HMI & navigation/routing experiences. I work closely across research, engineering, operations, and partners to ship scalable, safety-critical systems in complex urban environments.

I care deeply about building strong teams, clear product strategy, and fast, disciplined execution from 0→1 through scale.
