Yeah, a YouTube treasure. For anyone new to his channel, you have a back log of amazing experiments to binge on.

I believe he works at Alphabet (tangent?)—somewhere in the Bay Area.

IIRC he works (worked) for Verily, and previously was at Valve working on their VR hardware. He's also mentioned having a business pre-Valve that made MRI safe controllers for users to interact with computers while inside an MRI machine.

It's a completely different level, he has my favorite combo, incredibly detailed videos with fresh and complex engineering ideas

Also, really the holy grail of YouTubers — he’s not concerned with clicks or retention. He has a day job, he’s not trying to do this full time or make a career out of it. I’ve been following him for years. Legitimately just an insanely smart person doing projects on his own time he thinks are interesting and that he thinks other people might be interested in too. It’s kinda crazy when it’s as simple as that with no ulterior motives or incentives.
