Eager to Build Hard Tech.
Hey – I'm Gordon.
The world is exciting. Understanding its workings is my motivation. I'm a techno optimist – eager to expand human reach and capabilities with technology.
That's why I choose to solve hard problems. I want to answer questions about the physical world: The world of atoms.
I build computer and data-intensive oracles to answer questions.
I enjoy falling forward.
Looking forward to a life of solving high-stakes problems in space-, bio-, energy-, and also defense tech.
