Inventor 60+ patents — AI AR VR Deaigner + Rapid Prototyper🔧 UX + Robotics + OS design // 28 years XP 💪 // Apple // Google (Stadia🎮 Daydream👓 Chrome🦖 Waymo🚗) // Microsoft 💻 // 90s Flash scene 🤘

I am a maker, storyteller, and innovator. I quickly explore and bring ideas to life. I win hearts and minds, create excitement and impact roadmaps via lateral leadership, and the creation of magical interactive artifacts.

Now at Apple. Previously at Google, I spent 10 years inventing, designing, and shipping VR / AR products, Chrome OS, the Self-Driving Car project (now Waymo), Material Design and Stadia, the cloud gaming platform. I also created the sounds and music of many Google Doodle games!

In a previous life, I spent 10 years at Microsoft (co-founder of Expression Blend, then Windows UX), pushed Flash in the 90s (!) and wrote a few books. I was recognized as a top Virtual Reality influencer (Onalytica #4)
