About me
Who Am I?
Cogito ergo sum + Ubuntu - I think therefore I am, however I am because we are.
I am pedantic and semantic. I like homonyms, homophones, homographs, synecdoches, stenography, steganography (No I didn't hide any messages in the opaque Basquiats, trust me looking through the binary of those would be a waste of time, seriously), and other estoteric words.
I have an idiosyncratic philosophy that stems from a syncretic snythesis of eastern & western religions and science.
Like most engineers I am motivated by understanding things, however I understand life is about people, and I put them first. I evaluate things based on: 1. The People, 2. The Place, 3. The Thing.
Basically I am Attiano Purpura-Pontoniere.
I am currently employed as a senior AI research engineer at Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Center in Palo Alto.
My research interests lie primarily in computer vision and stochastic optimization, which I view machine learning as a subset of.
