Email me. Like in the old days.

Email is the best way to reach me. The address is [first].[last]@matrixatlantic.com. I try to reply to everything, though it can take a few days for senders I haven't met before. I'd appreciate you sticking to email rather than tracking me down on other channels.

Things I'm happy to be reached about:

• Robot learning, ML, and physical AI. What we're seeing at Relling, what's working and not working in the field, papers worth reading, or anything you think I'd find interesting in the space.
• Early-stage founders. Especially the part between deciding to start something and actually doing it. I've been there twice; happy to share what I'd do differently.
• Engineers and researchers in robot learning. If you care about this space and are in or willing to be in SF, I want to know you exist — even if Relling doesn't have an open role.
• Coffee, a climb, or a walk in SF. If you're in town or passing through and want to say hi, I prefer first meetings in motion to first meetings on Zoom.
• Niche obsessions. Ham radio, plane-spotting, public libraries, competitive math — if you do any of these, I want to compare notes.
• Disagreement. If you think something I've written or said is wrong, I'd rather hear it directly than not at all. Bluntness is fine.
