Summary
I'm a technologist, entrepreneur and investor with over 40 years of experience at the engineering, technology and management level in organizations building hardware, software and user experiences. My core expertise over the years has been in the areas of algorithm design, computer graphics, computer vision, video and imaging systems, microprocessor design, compiler design, mobile eco-system, parallel systems, persistent storage design, analysis of massive data, machine learning, software design techniques, design validation etc. Recently, in my roles as an entrepreneur, consultant and executive, I've focused on unlocking value in emerging fields and untapped market opportunities. I'm very passionate about digitizing the vast amount of loosely connected, unstructured data so hidden relationships and inferences between these data elements can be liberated that can lead to the evolution of smarter systems. I've been successful in developing sophisticated machine learning algorithms to explore solutions in predictive analytics, recommendation systems, NLP, sentence construction, computer vision etc. Further, I’ve had vast experience in enhancing search thru' the power of Knowledge Graphs and Ontology representation. I also enjoy building small, nimble, highly motivated teams who collaborate and work well together to bring value to the business and organization. As an investor and advisor, I like seeking out emerging technologies and market opportunities to help entrepreneurs develop and mature their ideas into successful businesses.
