I'm currently Director of R&D at CTRL-Labs, a neurotech startup in NY building a practical neural interface, worn on the arm, that decodes the signals flowing from your brain to your hand. The goal is to be the primary input technology for the next personal computing platform - when your computer is worn on your body, such as eyeglasses.

We're hiring!

In September 2019, we were acquired by Facebook, and will become part of Facebook Reality Labs (FRL), where we'll continue working on this vision.

Talks, press, and podcasts:

• Brain-Machine Interface Isn't Sci-Fi Anymore. Steven Levy, Wired. September 2017.
• Rethinking HCI with Neural Interfaces, QCON 2018
• Practical AI, The Changelog's AI podcast.
• Facebook buys startup building neural monitoring armband, TechCrunch, September 2019.

In early 2014 I helped start Clarifai, a machine learning company, with Matt Zeiler.

Some talks I've given about Clarifai and current trends in computing driven by machine learning:

• Databite 38: Deep learning, machine perception, and the future of memory.
• Stanford VLAB panel on deep learning.
• Lessons Learned from Developing Machine Learning Products.

I was a software engineer at Google from 2003-2014. I built the initial music recommendation system for Google Music, which you can read about on the Google Research Blog. I worked on Google News, Goggles, Realtime Search, and other projects over the years.

Reflecting The Stars is an art installation I engineered for Jon Morris of The Windmill Factory.

 

Sometimes I make music. Don't expect much.
