VP Perception and Core Software @ Total stealth, total cool. I moved away from large sums of guaranteed to do something bigger. I'm hiring a team of vision, graphics and learning people. Join in something bigger than you will ever again get a chance at. From August 2013 to Present (2 years 5 months) President/CEO @ Founded a nonprofit to support future development of the Open Source Computer Vision Library (OpenCV) From 2012 to Present (3 years) Board member @ Occipital is a great mobile vision application company that's doing things the others are not. It developed the best iPhone barcode reader: Red Laser. From 2011 to Present (4 years) Advisor @ Advised on best technical approaches for computer vision problems. From 2008 to Present (7 years) Consulting Professor @ Helped do the vision system on Stanley, the robot that won the Darpa Grand Challenge $2M race across the desert lead by Prof. Sebastian Thrun. Now working on STAIR -- the robot butler lead by Andrew Ng. From August 2006 to Present (9 years 5 months) Director @ Open Source Computer Vision Library -- I founded it, manage its direction and wrote a book about it for O'Reilly Press: http://www.amazon.com/Learning-OpenCV-Computer-Vision-Library/dp/0596516134 From May 1998 to Present (17 years 8 months) VP of Perception and Software @ From 2013 to 2015 (2 years) VP of Perception and Software @ From 2013 to 2015 (2 years) Founder, Chief Scientist @ Google bought Industrial Perception in August. Our angel funder convinced me to go with a bigger play at Magic Leap. Industrial Perception is continuing on inside Google adding the eyes and brains for industrial robotics. From March 2012 to August 2013 (1 year 6 months) Senior Scientist @ Willow Garage is a cross between a Robotics Research Institute and a Robotics Startup/Incubator. I am heading up the machine learning and perception software efforts there. http://www.willowgarage.com From December 2007 to 2012 (5 years) TCO @ Helped them get started and get contracts over time. Absolutely great computer vision contract firm. From 1999 to 2010 (11 years) VP of Technology @ Coded algorithms and helped form strategy in computer vision for this video search startup. This startup sold in 2011 to Microsoft. From September 2006 to November 2007 (1 year 3 months) Principal Engineer @ Had a lot of fun working in Intel research, got tired of it finally. Was a good ride while it lasted, especially the .boom years.
Founded OpenCV -- computer vision library. Got Intel involved with the robot race by funding and working with the Stanford (winning) team. From June 1996 to September 2006 (10 years 4 months) Principal Engineer @ Created OpenCV, the Open Source Computer Vision Library now the dominant computer vision library around the world; Managed a computer vision group in the research labs; ran a machine learning in manufacturing group in Intel Research which created their decision tree analysis package and an test reduction system using predictive statistics; Worked on, led the vision group and got Intel involved in supporting Stanley, the robot the won the $2M DARPA Grand Challenge Race Across the Desert. From 1996 to 2006 (10 years) Quantitiative Analyst @ Was a quant on a derivative securities trading floor aka interest rate options. Hated the job, hated the city, paid well though. From November 1994 to June 1996 (1 year 8 months) Consultant @ A fun consulting stint mostly to medical electronics makers (computerized EEG).
Helped found Neurosoft -- working as a consultant FUN
Worked on manufacturing visual inspection equipment, sub-contract to IBM. From 1987 to 1989 (2 years) Engineer @ Helped do the software and hardware for an early computerized EEG company. From September 1985 to September 1987 (2 years 1 month) Engineer @ Design proximity access security systems. You carry a card that can be read at a distance to access doors etc. Also controlled other events, monitored fire etc. First real job, kind of fun designing hardware, kind of boring too. From September 1984 to August 1985 (1 year)
