Self-taught, can read/understand any code, but I'm seeking a Product-related role (dev advocate, associate product/project manager, etc.) Biz-degree, previously in Ads @ Google. Big surprise: I'm super interested in all the sexy stuff (crypto-economics, quant-health, VR, drones). Design-oriented user-focused mindset and understand distribution/monetization very well. Love playing with data-viz (d3.js). Boundless curiosity + enthusiasm -- super friendly and a great teammate in/out of office. Just returned from 5-months backpacking Southeast Asia. Cyclist. Consider me the glue that holds different teams, roles, and partners together. My only criteria: an awesome team and an ambitious vision; a place I can learn, grow, and work 150%. Say hello!

I'd argue that the entire propose is to expand beyond 'casual followers.' The challenge of self driving cars is ultimately a social (more than a technical) one. Distribution. PR. Legal.
