We all discover who we are when we look back at the seeming accidents which define the trajectory of our lives... I have always been fascinated by how the "big picture" emerges from the dirty technical details of a system, the personalities, technologies and their interconnections. Although my studies in computer science took me down the technical rabbit hole of low level high performance computing, it was the gradual realization that the social and political interaction of software systems was really the crucial epicenter of importance. This led to a PhD where I generated novel concepts to bridge the gap between computer science and sociology/political science. Since then I have led several startups, and helped dozens of companies modify their strategies, adapt their technologies, and open new business niches. In the meantime I consider myself competent enough to rapidly adapt to contemporary details in any area of computing, from embedded electronics, through arbitrarily web technologies, to business process consulting, but far more than that, I consider myself able to understand and appreciate arbitrary organizational forms and business models. I've implemented process consultancy for banks, materials optimization algorithms for factories, user support platforms and big-data reporting for multi-nationals, embedded hardware prototypes with CAD design implemented in a mixture of my own-build additive manufacturing, laser cutting and CNC machines for logistics and much much more. At the moment I am deep into R&D for one of the world's largest companies, developing prototypes exploring AI applications ranging from Genetic Algorithms, to DeepStream vision recognition work, to customer Transformer networks.
