Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Hansen is a senior technology executive who combines 11+ years of biomechanics, wearable hardware, and AI product leadership to advance performance analytics in professional sports. He has driven end-to-end development—from IMU firmware and sensor fusion to production-grade ML for pose estimation and workload algorithms—shaping on-field MLB-approved wearables and multi-camera markerless motion capture platforms. A former collegiate pitcher and Milwaukee Brewers motion analysis engineer, he pairs domain expertise in pitching biomechanics (PhD work modeling UCL forces) with product instincts honed as Motus CTO and Intel product lead. At the New York Mets he now leads performance technology and baseball products, translating lab-grade science into operational tools for teams and athletes. His GitHub work on low-level graphics and compute shaders underscores a hands-on fluency with systems-level programming beyond his primary sports-tech focus.
