Summary
Jason Raether is a software engineer at Google with eight years of experience building production ML and embedded systems across search, NLU, and hardware-focused roles. He holds an M.S. in Computer Science from Texas A&M, where his thesis explored technology-driven interventions for anxiety using wearable physiological signals and statistical models (EDA, HRV, speech features). His background spans fast-moving product internships at Amazon (deep RL for active learning at scale), Motorola, Vermeer, and earlier embedded projects, giving him a rare blend of cloud/ML and low-level hardware expertise. Based in Chicago, he combines research rigour with hands-on productionization—designing PySpark and PyTorch pipelines as well as low-power CAN/CAN-bus and multi-camera systems. Notably, his academic work was funded in collaboration with industry (GM) and translated into real-time intervention experiments, showing an ability to move from signals research to user-facing implementations.
