So I spent, yeah, it was probably six years, six or seven years at Google, a lot of that inside Google Brain.

And that's actually where I met Chris Lattner, who is a very renowned engineer.

And he was brought in to help bring up some of the TPU infrastructure, which is sort of Google's custom silicon for running AI models.

Before that, Chris was at Apple.

And then before that, had done a lot of other things in his career.

LLVM, which is an open sort of compiler.

Open Source Compiler Foundation.

And so we had been working on an infrastructure platform called TensorFlow, which was one of the original machine learning and AI frameworks at Google.

And Google had released that really to provide the world with the ability to build AI models and in many ways help, this was back in 2015, 2016, help build

begin to democratize AI.

They had actually just acquired DeepMind at the time.

And so, you know, I independently became very excited about AI and had a startup before joining Google.

And, you know, we had started to dive in more what, you know, now is probably traditional machine learning.

Yeah.

So sort of, you know, what folks would... Sentiment analysis kind of stuff and...

Yeah, I think, you know, more traditional techniques for, um, for, you know, essentially essentially recognizing patterns in data and predicting outcomes.

Um, Uh, and then, you know, as deep learning began to, to accelerate.

And so the complexity of, of sort of these networks that we're, that we started to build, we started working on, uh, you know, sort of open infrastructure for the world to help accelerate those things.

And so I worked on, you know, not only TensorFlow with an incredible group of people inside Google brain, um,

You know, I also spent a lot of time looking at edge.
