About Me

I am currently a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI on the Compute Strategy team. My work spans semiconductors, technology, and industrial policy.

Experience

In 2023, I joined the CHIPS Program Office at the Department of Commerce as a Senior Policy Advisor. From 2024 to 2025, I served as the Director of Economic Security at CHIPS.

Previously, I was a New Product Introduction Operations Program Manager at Apple, where I led operations for the launch of the HomePod mini colors in 2021 and the HomePod in early 2023.

At McKinsey’s San Francisco office from 2018 to 2020, I worked with consumer electronics and semiconductor manufacturers on supply chains, procurement, and organizational change.

I began my career as a process and integration engineer at Twin Creeks Technologies, developing solar-cell manufacturing processes and transferring a metallization process from R&D to pilot-scale production.

Research & education

I earned my PhD in Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon in 2017. My research examined the semiconductor industry’s response to the end of CMOS scaling, including the Nanoelectronics Research Initiative and the evolution of the industry’s collaborative institutions.

My work was published in Nature Electronics. Email me for a copy.

I received my BS in Chemical Engineering from UC Berkeley in 2010. Go Bears!
