A quick overview of who I am and how to reach me.
|
My name is
Andy. I'm an extended reality developer and history nerd. I
graduated from the University of Michigan combining
those interests by building systems that will shake the
world.
I've recreated a
lost film
in VR, developed
smart glasses
that remember everything, and built a neurotech
superhero simulator. Today, I'm defining the future with the
Palantir Mixed Reality team.
This website has two entry types:

Can you imagine a world after you die?
A Summer at Sandia 01/01/2026 Template
My website is built in the structure of a blog. In practice, I will talk about topics that interest me and past experiences.
And you’re a cog in the machine.
Ask a physicist what energy is, and they’ll have a pretty fast answer for you. Ask most ordinary people (with all due respect to physicists) what energy is, and they too, will have quick responses. For a physicist, energy is a relative state. It is the capacity to do work, or store change. It is, in a sense, the lack of entropy. Objects all have various levels of energy, and so the interesting question becomes not what level of energy an object might have (for every material under the sun operates at a different baseline), but instead how that energy flows and changes– delta E, ΔE, the change in energy.
I’m not particularly sure what it is that draws me to smart glasses
Nobody alive has seen The Big City, a lost film from 1928. All known copies have faded, burned, or vanished. 100 years later, I was on the team to recreate it in a new medium, and remade an old dream with virtual cinematography and the latest in motion-capture.
All tools are built to be helpful. Good tools improve a fraction of the world, by a fraction. Orbit aims to build a tool to improve the experience of every living human, in perpetuity. Over the course of a summer, I took moonshot after moonshot and built a set of out-of-body experiences.
