About This Blog
I write to make sense of the rapidly evolving world around us — and to share that clarity with others. This blog is where I explore the frontiers of technology, reflect on big ideas, and break down what matters.
You'll find my writing organized into three main themes:
- 🔍 AI & AR Trends — Insightful takes on where the future is heading, from Stanford’s AI Index to CES innovations.
- 🏗️ Case Studies — Deep dives into how the most successful AI-native companies are built and scaled.
- 📚 Book Notes — Lessons and reflections from the books I’ve read this year that shaped how I think, build, and lead.
