Senior Staff Developer Advocate · NVIDIA (Global)
Oct 2024 - present
I do live robot demos, write hands-on guides, and publish open source around NVIDIA's simulation and robot learning stack (Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Jetson). Some things I built in this role:
- Physical AI demo in production (Japan). I designed and built the whole thing: a smart factory simulated with Newton and MuJoCo-Warp GPU physics, a Unitree G1 humanoid walking on a reinforcement learning locomotion policy, and a Franka arm. You control all of it with natural language, in English, Spanish or Japanese. It's deployed at an NVIDIA center in Japan with automatic failover, and I trained the local team that operates it today.
- VR teleoperation for the GR00T N1.7 + LeRobot launch with Hugging Face. I built teleoperation of the SO-101 arm in Isaac Lab with a Quest 3 over CloudXR. The streaming was unstable, so I found the root cause and sent two pull requests upstream to NVIDIA Isaac Teleop: PR #726 (frame-rate lifecycle: p95 one-way latency from ~54 ms to 10-13 ms, packet loss from 3.9% to 0.06%) and PR #753 (streaming defaults documentation) (Seeed coverage ↗).
- NemoCast, Computex 2026 (Taipei). A live AI news show hosted by two UBTECH Alpha Mini humanoid robots. Gemma 4, Kokoro TTS and live English to Mandarin translation running locally on a single 8 GB Jetson Orin Nano Super at the NVIDIA booth.
- World model demos (NVIDIA Cosmos). Interactive video generation on 8x H100s: a slider to compare real vs generated footage, and a live viewer that shows every denoising step while the model generates.
- On-device video generation (GTC Taipei). A full text-to-video pipeline (LTX-2.3, 22B parameters) running entirely on one DGX Spark (GB10 Grace Blackwell), no cloud.
- The macOS flashing workflow for DGX Spark. I built it because I needed it for my own units, and NVIDIA adopted it as the official workflow.
- Google Tokyo & Paris (2024-2025). I presented the international debut of Gemma 2 at the Gemma Developer Day in Tokyo, with the demo live on Jetson and a surprise appearance by Google's CEO (video ↗), and the Gemma 3 launch at Google's Paris office.
