Software for physical AI.
Ten years building perception systems for edge devices: security cameras, drones, and police body cams. Currently a staff software engineer at Motion. Formerly CTO of a venture-backed camera analytics platform, and Director of Engineering at Veritone, a public AI company, leading computer vision work for the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice. Founded Dark Tower, a computer vision company for the security industry, and sold it thirteen months later. Five patents: four in computer vision and healthcare, one provisional in microplastics detection. UC Berkeley, and an MBA from UCLA Anderson.

The longer version
The vision work started at WiZR, where as CTO I built the platform and the team behind real-time crime detection across thousands of security cameras, two billion events in all. At Veritone I led the AI Labs engineering group on Department of Defense drone programs, Department of Justice work, and police body camera analysis, and architected an electronic health record platform that became the fourth patent.
Dark Tower was a computer vision company for the security industry. I founded it, built the product, and sold it to a customer thirteen months later. With XO Capital I then acquired eleven small software companies, three of them from Y Combinator.
Today I write code at Motion and run Muni Labs, a microplastics testing company built around a fluorescence microscopy test that is now a provisional patent. I am most interested in robotics, hardware, and problems where software has to work in the physical world.
