Welcome, and thank you for reading my profile.
I am a lifelong technologist and researcher. As you gather from my productive career, I have been a programmer, Enteprise Mobility Solution Architect, AI Solution Architect, Principal, VP, CTO, and even CEO. The companies are a wide range from startups, IPOs, to enterprise companies.
I start my career with Xerox Parc, researching and building expert systems (ruled-based) for copier diagnostic. Afterward, I joined Oracle, following with Viant Consulting as a founding member. I dove deep into the entrepreneurial culture in Silicon Valley, and I have made many friends as I worked for startups and raised funding for my startups. There was a 49% success rate to 51% failure. The success highlights are Viant, RRKidz, and SwiftBot.
For the past five-plus years, I have been going back to work for big consulting companies as AI Solution Architect. I have firsthand experience managing and cultivating technology for enterprise companies, such as Ameriprise, Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank, PepsiCo, Macy's, Levi's, Ford Inc, and Kaiser Permanente. Currently, I am at "Y Media Labs" (yml.co), one of my preferred companies. We have an energetic and progressive culture.
I feel the youthful energy as I slowly pivot from making the next millions dollar company to "making social media great again." It is not too subtle of a pun to you know who. :-)
Currently, I do pro bono work for the social and environmental nonprofit foundation in using AI, in particular, using Deep Learning relies on Artificial Neural Network algorithms, in my spare time. I try to be a prolific writer about "demystifying AI." I have published the 8th article in the series on July 2021. You can find them on LinkedIn and Medium.
In 2020, I started a movement, "#benice2020," for programmers united to make social media, like Facebook or Twitter, a safe and trusted place to share ideas and friendship for adults and children. You can find out all about it on the https://be-nice-2020.com website.
I am thrilled to work for YML, and I hope the curated pivoting to AI, Social Media, and teaching happens in the next few years.
It is not the
critic who
counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the
doer of
deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in
the
arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives
valiantly;
who
errs,
who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without
error and
shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds;
who knows great
enthusiasms, the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at
the
best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the
worst,
if he
fails,
at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be
with
those cold and timid souls
who neither know victory nor defeat.
