Only in America can so much change in one year: Raised, moved into a barren and dilapidated LA warehouse, built out the shop, brought on a team of 9, met a ton of new friends, made some new opps, learned a ton about my strengths and weaknesses. Here’s to the next 12 months!
Today was my last day at @Mach_Industries. I’ve decided to step away to focus on addressing a very overlooked critical defense need. I’ll share share more on that in the near future! But until then, I’d love to take a moment to reflect upon my time at Mach.

Robotics is redefining how the physical world is maintained. Skydio did it in the air. Gecko did it on the ground. We’re doing it under the ocean.
We spend around $200B each year putting infrastructure in the water. Another $110B goes to maintaining it. Its a massive market with tools from the '70s. Missions are done with manned DP2 vessels that cost $200k per day. @AmidonHeavy is unlocking these economics.

The offshore industry is such a testament to human ingenuity. Build marine autonomy worthy of them.

Hiring another SWE. If teaching robots to find themselves in the dark, deep, and GPS-denied world excites you, let’s talk. Role in comments 👇

If you like messes of wire like this, we’re hiring one more SWE to work on the vehicle’s brain. Looking for competencies across autonomy, SLAM, and computer vision. Link in comments!

"Are you guys aware that 99% of internet traffic and over $10T of economic activity depends upon highly vulnerable subsea infrastructure?"

When we started development, we said we’d be ready to splash our first testbed vehicle in 90 days. We did it in 32. Engineers who want to join the crew and modernize subsea autonomy: https://t.co/gwzaKiE0rI
