Sean’s Bio

I am a scientist and entrepreneur leading ML/AI teams and research in the Seattle area. I earned my Ph.D. in computational astrophysics from the University of Washington, developing source characterization algorithms for a NASA/DOE Gamma Ray Telescope.?

I then became involved in numerical simulation, modeling, Monte-Carlo particle transport, machine learning and anomaly detection, as well as in the direction of international nuclear policy.?

I served as researcher and science lead for various projects in computational physics and was involved in development of computer vision algorithms, spatial object localization, deep learning for anomaly detection and NLP.??

A passion for entrepreneurialism and developing algorithms to empower business products led me to the startup world, where I have led ML/AI concepts and teams across a broad spectrum in an R&D environment, and applied descriptive and inferential statistics to marketing, and process optimization for business.?

I have been active in the areas of Image Generation Models (e.g. StableDiffusion) and Large Language Models (LLM) (e.g. the GPT series) for many years and am excited for the future of tech in these areas.?

I also produce the occasional academic paper about my research and continue to operate at the nexus of tech development, business and management.

In my free time, you can often find me bicycling, participating in or helping to organize LARP events, or speaking at conventions about the nature of science and technology in pop culture and the future of the modern world.

?Sean’s Advice

We have a really good shot here. My whole career has been about taking this shot. How do we get beyond scarcity? This is such a big dream and one of the first times we've really had a shot at it.?

So if we all work hard, we probably will get there. If you're the sort of person who's good at talking, try and convince people that this is going to be good.?

We are gonna get to the good side of this future. I really want it to be the good side. Please keep working towards that.?
