I turn deep-tech research into products that ship at global scale. With a PhD in Chemical Engineering and 15 years of technical leadership, I've taken complex technologies from the lab to worldwide deployment across consumer electronics, autonomous vehicles, AR/VR, and frontier AI.
As Founder and Managing Director of Soqono, I design and run custom AI training data collection and technical research operations programs for the world's leading tech companies, with delivery across 20+ countries. This work powers product development for next-generation technologies, providing the data and research infrastructure behind algorithm development at some of the most advanced engineering organizations in the world.
For over a decade, through Soqono and global consulting programs before it, I've designed and run the custom data collection and research operations that state-of-the-art tech products are built on. Delivered across 20+ countries for the world's leading tech companies.
Research and data programs supporting the development of generative AI systems now shipping on the world's most widely used devices, and of the next generations still in the lab.
Global data programs behind biometric and computational photography algorithms now running on some of the most widely deployed consumer devices in the world. Five continents, from hardware validation through to algorithm handoff.
Data collection programs for the perception systems at the heart of spatial computing: eye and hand tracking, environment understanding, and human-centered sensing for headsets and wearables now defining the category.
Executive-sponsored programs resolving the critical bottlenecks in commercializing self-driving vehicles: robots navigating public streets. Spanning engineering, safety, and operations on the path to public deployment.
A PhD in Chemical Engineering, leading a research team pioneering novel material processing methods for aerospace, biomedical, and consumer electronics applications. 12 peer-reviewed publications and 1 patent. The scientific method, applied to everything above.
