I'm Steven, an interdisciplinary engineer and designer working on hard problems with big impacts
Welcome to my workshop on the web!
It's so delightful to cross paths with you! I'm Steven - welcome to my workshop on the web.
I'm an engineer interested in working on novel technology that can improve people's lives. This drives me to constantly experiment with new ideas, even when success seems unlikely. I'm not afraid to take risks and have failed a lot. Throughout the past few years, I've had the opportunity to work on some incredible projects and learn from many amazing people.
Previously, I helped engineer fusion systems that will pave the path towards limitless clean energy, fully autonomous restaurants that assemble delicious meals at affordable prices, medical robots that can help diagnose cancer, rockets that push the boundaries of what's possible in college, and ADAS modules that make driving semi-trucks safer. I've also explored the world of design, interning with Don Norman to help with his book Design for a Better World, and contributing to humanitarian design projects focused on increasing access to food and water in underserved communities.
Most recently, I served as a bridge between hard-tech startups and venture capital, meeting with founders and evaluating science and engineering ventures at their earliest stages.
When I'm not working, I'm usually building side projects (quite a few have ended up in my own project graveyard), playing pickup basketball or tennis, finding new strategy games, trying new Mediterranean spots, or taking care of my two dalmatians.
Currently, I'm taking time to explore ideas I couldn't pursue in college. The workshop is buzzing with possibility, and I'm excited to see where it leads.
