Vinci is building a foundation model for physics simulation.

Using simulations to train and test autonomous robots sounds like the obvious thing to do, but getting quality sim-to-real results is a genuine slog. Bifrost builds products that make it easy and accessible.

I led work across the stack: Manifold, a policy evaluation platform for benchmarking any robot control policy against any task, on any robot body; a paint-style app for authoring high-fidelity 3D environments, driving Houdini procedural generation under the hood and exporting simulation-ready USD; and a 3D asset management platform that runs the art team’s whole content pipeline, from storage and versioning to access control and review workflows.

Underneath it all, I stood up the platform: GPU-accelerated Windows containers on Kubernetes, plus the AWS, GitOps and observability stack it runs on. And in true startup fashion, I did plenty of the unglamorous stuff too: IT administration, the office network, subnet design, the connective tissue nobody notices until it breaks.

Motional grew quickly and I was roped into a new SRE team.

I created a central monitoring stack, standardised observability practices across all engineering teams, and babysat several Kubernetes clusters and hundreds of AWS accounts.

Autonomous vehicles can be unruly, so the Fleet team created a Command Center to keep an eye on them. I was their first backend engineer, and grew it from a simple monitoring tool into a full fleet management platform.

It later became a key asset for our commercial ventures: I worked with engineers from Uber, Lyft, and Via to integrate our robotaxis into their networks.

Arup started an internal digital transformation movement, and employees with cool ideas were given budget and time to work on them. I helped many teams from the Consulting group turn their ideas into reality.

My favourite project involved modelling the ExperienceLab in VR to convince the MD that it would be worth the investment. Spoiler: it was.

I was president of the student government, did a summer exchange at MIT, and was teaching assistant for several courses (mathematics, algorithms, biology).

I assembled the founding committee and led the pilot fundraiser, which raised $100,000.

I build tools to improve orchestra management workflows.

I supported administrative and concert operations.

I recruited a new management committee and led several projects.
