Emmanuel Arriaga is a science‑fiction author cleverly disguised as a product manager. Backed by more than 15 years in engineering, cybersecurity, and large‑scale infrastructure, he earned degrees from Pennsylvania State University and refined his strategic lens at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business.
His daytime career spans expanding mobile access in emerging markets, fortifying privacy and security safeguards for Android’s global user base, enhancing the creator experience on YouTube, and currently he’s protecting developer integrity on Google Play.
When the storyteller breaks loose, Arriaga pens award‑winning adventures that fuse technical plausibility with page‑turning stakes.
His Foundra series—a sweeping space opera and National Indie Excellence Award finalist—showcases intricate world‑building and inventive technologies that push readers to ponder humanity’s next horizon. Elevator Quest and its subsequent works have earned him honors, including the Readers’ Favorite Bronze Medal for Best Young Adult Action Novel and a TopShelf Book Award.
Between product reviews and chapter rewrites, he mentors aspiring authors and speaks on bridging innovation with imagination.
