Projects
tangible blocks for play and learning
Inventor, Engineer, Wireless Communications, Embedded Electronics, Python · Siftables was the basis of my Ph.D. at the MIT Media Lab. Later spun out… · More into a connected-hardware startup, Sifteo.
Siftables aims to enable people to interact with information and media in physical, natural ways that approach interactions with physical objects in our everyday lives. As an interaction platform, Siftables applies technology and methodology from wireless sensor networks to tangible user interfaces. Siftables are independent, compact devices with sensing, graphical display, and wireless communication capabilities.

Achievements
My connected learning toy startup Sifteo was acquired by drone-maker 3D Robotics in 2014 to become the kernel of a new consumer product group. Served as VP Product to ship Solo: the Smart Drone in 2015, then as VP of Enabling Technology where I led a small team scouting and prototyping technical possibilities for future products.
