Summary
Back in my 20s I co-founded a Japanese tech company called Digital Garage. We operated a search engine, Infoseek Japan, and were the dominant search engine in Japan at the beginning of the Internet Age. After that I went back to school and got a PhD in computational modeling of cognition. This led me to co-founding Leela AI with my cofounders. We've been working with Manufacturers since 2020 and deploying commercially since 2021. I came to the table ready to learn, and I've learned a lot by asking questions and listening closely. I'm looking forward to supporting our customers to acheive great gains. The opportunities are enormous.
