The story

Walking back into The Luminosity Lab is always an honor. This is the room where VerifyU was incubated, and getting time and attention from that caliber of students is something I don't take lightly.

The talk centered on my young career, genuinely the first time I'd stepped back to evaluate the last four years of hard work end-to-end. Translating that into wisdom out loud isn't a muscle I've trained publicly yet, but it's a practice I plan to open myself up to a lot more.

The Luminosity Lab is second to none. It's the future of AZ technology, full stop. The combination of student talent, mission, and operating culture there is rare anywhere in the country, let alone in one university lab. Watching what comes out of that room over the next decade is going to be something.

Huge thank you to Robb Olivieri for letting me come down to speak and trusting me with the students' time. Committed to sharing more of these lessons and to staying close to the lab as it keeps driving impact.
