Hi, I’m Erin! 👋🏼
I’m a software engineer, startup founder, and writer, born and raised in Silicon Valley.
I’ve been building in AI, spatial computing, and web3 since 2015.
Many people know me as the lead author and co-editor of O’Reilly Media's Creating Augmented and Virtual Realities: Theory and Practice for Next-Generation Spatial Computing, which debuted #1 in Amazon’s Game Programming category and has been translated into Chinese and Korean, reaching readers around the world.
I graduated from UC Berkeley and was a fast.ai deep learning fellow through the University of San Francisco’s Deep Learning program (2017-2018) and Data Ethics inaugural class (2020).
Right now, I’m building TimeBite — along with new books, apps, and film projects.
