Summary of Experience | I have been in technology as a data and AI expect over 30 years. My early studies included cryptography in late 90s and I had worked at NATO to develop some early cryptography algorithms using voice frequency and AI techniques. Later in my career I mainly concentrated on AI and data science as a consultant. Before I became CEO and co-founder of Concrete Engine I was a junior executive at GM as a part of innovation team. I was tasked to develop small startup groups or find early seed tech startups to accelerate GM's innovation in technology. One of the projects that I worked was blockchain technologies and VIN numbers. We concluded that there is not enough application specific computation centers.The current crypto ecosystem is very immature particularly because of the L1 infrastructure limitations. Since larger corporations are not ready to take risk on a deep technology and infrastructure venture I decided to start my own company with like minded people not only for companies but also everyday people who didn't get chance to be early adopters of crypto specifically mining. |
