About Eric
Eric joined Zipline in March.
He helps them debug and then fix problems with their
drones.
The drones deliver medical supplies to remote health clinics, with their biggest deployments in Rwanda and Ghana. They have made millions of deliveries.
He split his time between SF (where Zipline is), Geneva (where Marta is),
and Ghana & Rwanda (where the drones are).

Very rarely they have to recover the
drones from the forest
But there are lots of talented people who are saving lots of lives with this amazing technology.
Eric has made a ton of new friends at Zipline
And he can still bike to work in SF; he does not own a car, at least in the normal sense...
But he still has the Useless Car
Plus a variety of other bikes to work on
Including a great cargo bike
And a couple unicycles
One of which he can now shift with a hub he helped assemble at the factory himself
While in Switzerland he helped the amazing inventor Florian Schlumpf; see Eric's pic here
He got to hang out with Marta in Geneva and Costa Rica and SF too
And Eric spent lots of time with friends - and family and dogs - often including bikes and/or food
