I have 11+ years of engineering and product experience in satellites, drones, and self-driving cars. I held leadership roles at Amazon Prime Air and Cruise Self-Driving and previously worked at Lockheed Martin and NASA on Planetary Spacecraft. I studied Aerospace Engineering at MIT and did a dual MS/MBA degree at Harvard.
