About

I’m the founder of Envision, where I lead product and design.
For nine years I have been building AI that speaks out the visual world for people who are blind or have low vision. What began as my graduation thesis at TU Delft is now an app used by 750,000+ people, two generations of smart glasses, and Ally, a voice-first assistant on the phone and on your face. We ship the whole stack, from firmware and packaging to the agent itself, for the one audience that cannot fall back on a screen.
I’m happiest heads down, turning new technology into something useful. Nothing beats watching someone use what I built to do something they couldn’t do before.
I split my time between San Francisco, Amsterdam and Bangalore, and I’m always up for a conversation about AI, wearables, accessibility, or building products people rely on. You can reach me through any of the channels below.
