During my senior year at Stanford, I wrote an award-winning honors thesis exploring ethical challenges associated with self-driving cars. In the years since, I have cultivated an interest in the design and user experience side of the emerging autonomous mobility industry, and have given several talks on the subject. In my work at Udacity I also frequently appeared in company videos to promote new Nanodegree programs, answer questions from students, etc. To this day I can't visit the Udacity office without seeing my face on one of the video screens there. In 2024, I'm branching out as a Trail Blogger for backpacking site The Trek, chronicling my journey (with my dad) to and on California's High Sierra Trail!
