I’m a creative builder of new technology.
I bring scrappiness, humanity and a tad of latin flavor to the product making process.
I believe work is better with friends.

Meta Reality Labs
Currently working on inventing differential experiences for storytellers and creators with RayBan/Meta Smart Glasses. Before joining Reality Labs, I led AR experiences in video calling with Messenger and Instagram. Love working on all things Camera and Creativity.
Amazon
Spent most of my time at Amazon working on hardware, mainly new Devices, aka Echo and Echo Show. Rallying the product, engineer and design troops to ship the first Alexa Devices with a circular screen (it’d be fun, they said). Jk, it was a ton of fun, and also the best selling Alexa device at that point.
Disney Imagineering
At that point I didn’t know, my title was Imagineer, but I was doing PM work for a research & development team. My focus was creating universal access to the Disney brand. Our most impactful project was building movie theater tech for towns without electricity in Nicaragua and Vietnam. Also, learned that Storytelling wins, each time. No matter what you are building, you are creating a story.
Procter & Gamble
I was recruited by P&G during my second year of college. Best that happen to me (til that point). P&G taught a solid foundation for brand building, storytelling and user obsession. By the time I left P&G to pursue my Masters, I was leading a team of twelve people and had shipped to completely new beauty products to the world.
