Enjoy most in solving the hard nuts. Education and learning, health, social communication, bridging differences, ecology and nature - all are meaningful goals I enjoy help solving.
Video games, AR/ VR/ MR, IoT/ Makers/ Robots/ Smart toys, Autonomous vehicles, Computer vision techs (Gesture recognition, Face expressions, speech understanding, Scene understanding) - I have thorough experience with all of these mixed together.
Worked with small startups on getting their first prototype to investors, and with giant corporates to foster internal innovation and creativity.
Startups: I know how you feel. You have this terrific business idea and highly innovative tech. Anyone you talk to, either has no clue what you are doing or why, or they just send you away with their blessing to find experts.
Companies: I know how you feel. You see all this innovation and new techs popping up. Maybe even your competitors started to exploit some of it. If you trust this to be a lasting tech or not, you feel you have to stay on top of it.
