Speaking

I speak about the future of the interface today and how AI and spatial computing/XR actually operates in the real world.

From spatial computing to agent systems — I focus on what happens after the model, when AI has to act inside products and environments.

As the first O’Reilly author in AI + spatial computing in over five years, my work focuses on how these systems are actually built and used — not just where they might go.

I’ve been building in AI and spatial computing since 2015 as an engineer, founder, and former CTO.

My expertise

Most talks on AI and spatial computing stay at a surface level and on trends— without the technical depth, historical context, or understanding of real system constraints.

Mine focus on what actually works — how these systems get built, shipped, and made to work in practice.

I break down how AI moves from models into real-world execution — inside products, workflows, and userenvironments.

I’m the lead author of Creating Augmented and Virtual Realities (O’Reilly), published after a multi-year gap in technical books on VR — and my work continues to sit at the intersection of emerging technology and real-world application.

Most talks come directly from systems I’ve worked on, translating complex ideas into how they operate in practice.

Topics

–AI systems and agent workflows

– Spatial computing as a computing paradigm and and the future of interfaces (not just AR/VR demos)

– Designing systems where AI and humans operate together building products at the edge of emerging technology
