I live in Mountain View, CA and work in Google's Research division.

My areas of expertise include self-supervised computer vision; programming language and API design for hardware accelerators; real-time computer graphics; and general high performance system design. I've worked in a range of environments including "academic research", "large company product engineering", and "startup", typically focusing on solving new problems with innovative approaches and designs. I've led teams (up to 18 people) but also often work as an IC particularly in the early stages of a project.
