I recently made the difficult decision to leave Tesla.

My time there was nothing short of amazing. I had the privilege of working with a truly world-class team in the Autopilot Hardware group, where I helped develop firmware and device drivers for in-car autopilot systems, as well as firmware for the AI training datacenter. We worked on cutting-edge technologies that could only exist in our lab, built by our exceptional team. I’m pretty sure we set a few world records along the way, though I can’t share the details 😭. Suffice to say, it was incredibly fun and fulfilling work.

I worked remotely from Texas for a team based in California. While remote work was great in many ways, I came to realize that to truly succeed on that team, I would need to relocate to California – something I couldn’t ask of my family. Given that realization, leaving was the right choice, even though it was a tough one to make.

Fortunately, an equally exciting opportunity building wearable devices landed on my plate. I look forward to sharing more about that in a future post!
