Palo Alto, California,
I am a General Partner at Playground Global. I believe the computing revolution—and arguably even the industrial revolution—haven’t happened yet. I am drawn to the toughest challenges at the boundaries of deep tech and hard science.
I have been writing software since I was a teenager. At 19, my first security program caught the attention of the NSA. From my first company, Rocket Science Games, I've had an adventurous career in technology from creating the first widely used video codec in the early 90s, building the world’s most popular IPTV platform at Microsoft, cloud intelligence for automotive at CloudCar and now quantum and optical computing, robotics and artificial intelligence at Playground. I hold over 100 patents.
At Playground, I delight in the opportunity to deeply collaborate with entrepreneurs and help create transformative companies with multigenerational impact. I thrive on technologies that lie somewhere between improbable and impossible and companies whose success will help move civilization forward.
