Life After LAHS: from Co-Founding a Startup in College to Working on Self-Driving Cars

Engineering

Curious about the future of self-driving cars, what it’s like to found a company while in college, or where you might be five years after LAHS? In this talk I’ll cover my journey since graduating LAHS in 2014, including what it was like to found and sell a user research startup while in college and what exciting problems I’m working on now on the product team of a self-driving car startup valued at $2.7 billion. Plus, I’ll share a few pieces of unsolicited life advice along the way!

Meet the Speaker:
