Around the age of thirteen, I discovered the profession of transportation design and immediately set my sights on studying at the renowned Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. There, I quickly developed a deep fascination with mechanical design and entrepreneurship.

In 2011, my degree work culminated in an exclusive public showcase hosted by Honda R&D North America. Inspired by the legendary Soichiro Honda, my thesis extrapolated the pioneering technologies developed for "ASIMO" - Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility - and envisioned their eventual migration into a series of advanced personal mobility devices. Conceived as a stealth sub-brand to Honda, HOLISITCA was my inaugural entrepreneurial endeavor, symbolizing the culmination of my student years and the commencement of my career in Silicon Valley.

Since 2012, I have been part of three groundbreaking Silicon Valley startups: Lit Motors' self-balancing electric motorcycle, Lucid Motors' fastest, longest-range production electric sedan, and Ample's universal swappable battery ecosystem for any electric vehicle. 

The experiences and insights gained throughout my journey have fueled my ambition to create AERA. Further updates are forthcoming.
