Hi, I'm Alex.

designer

Working across physical AI, robotics, and spatial computing, rooted in real industrial deployments.

I lead robotics and Physical AI at Slalom in New York. I run small, hands-on teams of engineers, designers, and product people, figuring out how a new technology actually behaves in the world. Right now: autonomous mobile robots in active operations, and humanoids that learn in simulation before they touch a factory floor.

More about me

Aviation

Field robotics R&D

Multi-year applied R&D for a global airline. Autonomous mobile robots that handle inspection in active outdoor operations, in conditions you'd rather not send people into. Wet weather, dense ground traffic, tight turnaround windows.
