Data Scientist

Skills

I am a Data Scientist building on a foundation in electrical engineering and computer science. I enjoy solving technical mysteries, exploring data, designing experiments, and solving problems through a combination of investigation and innovation.


Areas of interest and expertise: CMOS image sensors, image classification, object detection, deep learning. Experienced innovator with patents in hardware image systems and algorithms.


Why 94247? It's actually N94247, a Cessna 152 where I did flight training for my private pilot license. It's a symbol and a reminder of a great adventure, learning new skills and the rewards that come with both.
