Product Leader — AI, Autonomy, & Geospatial Platforms

For almost two decades, I’ve been building platforms for humans and AI to move through the world. to accomplish a task using sensors, spatial data, and cloud-based infrastructure. I’ve progressively moved closer to the edge and deeper into the stack but I started as a designer.

Realtime logistics, marketplaces, distributed platforms. Early at Postmates, I internationalized the product, automated ops/CS, built the developer platform, then a B2B business on top that reached ~30% of company value at acquisition, with Apple/Walmart as anchor partners.

Edge autonomy, accelerated computing, vertical integration. At Serve Robotics I turned robots into a business. We hey Joseph how are you doing I'm doing great glad for glad we could connect yeah sounds goodintegrated with Uber, unlocked a multi‑thousand‑unit PO, and expanded to dozens of markets. That meant forcing hard trade‑offs: power budgets, thermals, sidewalk‑level localization, cellular/GNSS fragility, and resilient C2.

GPS‑denied navigation, electronic warfare, sensor fusion. At Pendulum I led a DoD‑funded program to localize in contested EW environments using real‑time sensor fusion; we took it to the field at White Sands.

Vertical infrastructure, geospatial data fusion, robots, spatial compute. At Anduril I run product for a geospatial platform that underpins 30+ products across 7–8 divisions—navigation, mapping, mixed reality, simulation—representing ~$2B in forward contracts. I introduced a eng/data/ops backbone that cut issue rate 40% and trimmed $3M in data costs.

Anduril Industries

Principal Product Manager

December 2024 - Current

Product lead for a vertically integrated geospatial platform for AI navigation, mapping, simulation, and VR across 30+ products; scope tied to ~$2B in active and forward contracts.

  • Defined the AI-native fused earth model (satellite + elevation + terrain) and a synthetic data workflow to accelerate autonomy.

  • Drove an edge-first architecture for GPS-denied operations in Ghost, Bolt, Altius, Anvil.

  • Designed multi-hop compression (Internet → Cloud → Edge-Cloud → Edge) to move from petabytes to GB-scale on asset.

  • Negotiated and integrated high-value data products (e.g., Maxar, Blackshark.ai, Vantor, TCarta) and instituted licensing governance → $3M savings.

  • Introduced a metrics-driven engineering ops framework driving down support request by 40%.

Pendulum Navigate

Applied Product Research

April 2024 - September 2024 (contract)

DoD-funded, GPS-denied geolocation using edge neural networks and real-time sensor fusion.

  • Advanced from TRL 5→7 with field demos at White Sands (NavFest); co-authored APFIT with PEO Soldier/AFWERX.

  • Prototyped adaptive ML across smartphones, wearables, UAVs; designed eval metrics & field-data loops.

Serve Robotics

Director of Product Management

March 2021 - November 2022
