About Us

Founder's Story

My journey with robotics and entrepreneurship started during my studies at Cornell University. In between training sessions for the Mens' Heavyweight Crew, I was part of the early team building a robotic vacuum for hotels and founded and led a product design club. From these experiences grew a passion for building robots that improve the way we live and work. 

During my professional career, I've gained a breadth of experience across a wide range of robotic solutions and operational maturity. From autonomous vehicles to warehouse mobile robots and food assembly modules, pre-production MVPs to 100s of deployed robots, I know what is possible and how to get it done.

When not heads down building robots, you can find me swimming, biking, and running around San Francisco. To date, I've completed multiple full Ironman triathlons and 70.3 distance triathlons, including the 2024 Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Taupo, New Zealand. I believe we become our best selves when striving to do things most people consider impossible, and bring that attitude to bear at Puppet.
