From Behavioral Sciences to a Career in Sensor Perception and AI

Every couple of years, I write a post about my career in which I review the past and consider pivots for the future. It is time to post an update for 2025. Because of AI, this year will be the most transformative.

I want to share some honest thoughts based on my journey and lessons learned.

Looking back over my 32-year career, I can see how high technology was always interlaced with my deep passion for cultural anthropology. Each past experience gently shaped my current path towards AI technologies.
