This article was first published on Taku International's website in the context of that company's technology offering supporting care services. However, since I wrote it and I'm interested in wearables (and by extension AR) and sensors, I'm republishing it here. I'll go into some of the underlying technology topics in more detail in the future. The [...]
What's the hardest thing you've ever had to do in your life? I was recently asked, what’s the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do in your life? That’s a great question, because how we handle challenges and tough times is telling, in terms of who we are. Looking great while things are great, that’s [...]
This week I spoke as part of a panel moderated by Corinne Sawers, Co-CEO of Turing Talent, on building remote teams, in particular, building remote tech teams. Emoke Starr, VP of People at Benchling, Martha Bitar, Director of Business Development at HoneyBook, joined me on the panel. I primarily build remote engineering teams since product development, [...]
I'm very excited to be speaking at the IEEE Technology Time Machine Symposium in San Diego next week. The IEEE Technology Time Machine Symposium (TTM) is organized by the IEEE Future Directions Committee (FDC), where the FDC is an incubator for emerging technologies. The areas chosen for TTM cover a wide synergistic range of business, social, [...]
Homecoming at UC Berkeley Last week, for the Homecoming Weekend at UC Berkeley, I was invited by the Bioengineering Department to give a talk entitled “Pushing the Boundaries of Your Engineering Degree - Imagination Will Take You Everywhere.” I really enjoyed this opportunity to visit the campus and to speak with faculty and students – thank [...]
I’m excited to start thinking ahead to my next adventure - on Aconcagua. Besides looking forward to a fantastic trip, I’m figuring out how I can combine two of my main interests, outdoor/endurance adventure and science/engineering. With increasing interest across a variety of industries in technologies for “extreme environments”, this seems entirely reasonable to me. [...]
iGIANT Welcome to the iGIANT summit on AI! Impact of Gender/Sex on Innovation and Novel Technologies Gender and sex impact every aspect of our daily lives. According to the National Academy of Medicine, "gender" refers to a person's self representation as male or female based upon social interactions. "Sex" is based upon an individual's genes. Understanding [...]
I am working on R&D/engineering and product strategy with a fantastic startup company that is developing solutions to help mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals. The following represents my personal opinions, not those of the company or any of its individual employees (or anyone else). Besides providing me with a chance to do something meaningful and [...]
I will be speaking as part of a moderated panel on big data at the Licensing Executive Society (LES) annual meeting in Boston next month and am thinking about our upcoming discussion. As it will be a sophisticated but not deeply technical (in matters of data science and mathematics) audience, the focus of the discussion [...]
I’m interested in cyber-physical-biological symbiotic relationships from several angles. Focusing here on the larger scale, you might look at it from an infrastructure point of view. With today’s expanding IoT and communications network scope and functionality, we may think frequently about increasing sensing capabilities in our environment, However, we tend to think in terms of [...]
