The US has 800k unfilled manufacturing jobs, but only 30k robots were deployed to American manufacturers in 2023. Something doesn't add up. We need to deploy robots at 10 times the current rate to fix this labor gap that will cost our economy $1T by 2030. I co-founded Reshape Automation to accelerate the transition to automated labor in the manufacturing and supply chain industries across North America. We're building an AI-powered marketplace and platform to help manufacturing and supply chain companies discover, design, deploy and support the automation that is right for them. I also co-founded Synthicity, a bootstrapped software startup in the AEC space acquired by Autodesk in 2015, that built pioneering 3D generative design, simulation and analytics software applications for urban planning.I led software teams at Bright Machines during its early years, which built core technology behind modular lines of robotic cells that automate the final assembly of electronic products. I also led data architecture for the Autodesk cloud platform, where I advocated for cloud-centric common data environments that enabled remote collaboration between users and interoperability across Autodesk's flagship applications, and helped shape the data strategy for the company's platform transition.I take pride in building high-performing teams of committed and talented individuals, and fostering a culture of trust, accountability, autonomy and growth. I have led the deployment of cutting-edge software products at both startups and big tech companies, across manufacturing, robotics, urban planning, and architecture.During my PhD years I was part of several academic research projects in 3D computer graphics and computer vision, focused on semi-automated methods for designing, visualizing, simulating and analyzing cities, and on computer vision methods for 3D reconstruction from photographs and LiDAR data. My research work has been published in top academic journals and conferences, including SIGGRAPH, Eurographics and CVPR.
