The one I'm thinking about most right now: “It's not a question of if a dog can play piano, but if it can play it well.”

Updates on LinkedIn, half-thoughts on Twitter, photos on Instagram. The Discord is where I actually hang out.

I'm based in Sydney, Australia. I do hardware. I'm a co-founder of On Zero, a tech startup, and ACES, a hardware community of more than 3000 people.

Short intro: this video.

I'm a dual citizen, Australian and Canadian. I was born to two entrepreneurs who moved to Canada to start a skiing business, and I spent most of my life in Australia, moving back and forth. Thirteen schools.

I got $600k from Blackbird Ventures and Startmate. Through ACES, I'm helping send 10 startups to CES by the end of the year.

I taught quantum mechanics alongside PhDs. I deferred Quantum Engineering at UNSW, and I was a podium finisher at an MIT hackathon on my first day of university. The resume is on LinkedIn.

What I had learned before university was at least four years ahead, so I got bored. I never liked school. I did well to unlock opportunities, and four years is a long time to wait for one.

I got into embedded systems. A new challenge I could do in my room. No dilution fridge required. I made projects out of my closet to prove I knew something real.

Soon I dreamed of typing in the air, frustrated, on a train. My favourite video game character can do it. The game is set in 2070, which is soon enough. That's what I'm doing right now.
