About Tony
A journey from analog tinkerer to AI-powered product engineer, building lovely experiences at the fringe of technology and design
Building the New New
I build things before there’s a roadmap. I started by wiring Arduinos on a coffee-table lab bench, graduated to shipping VR tools that help real surgeons level up, and now spend my days turning raw AI models into products that feel obvious the second you use them.
My favorite metric is the grin: the beat where the tech vanishes and someone says “wait—do that again.” Whether that’s a flawless VR rehearsal, an AI reply that nails the nuance, or a video chat room that suddenly feels like the same room, that moment is why I keep pushing the edge.
