Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Chen is a seasoned R&D architect and retired technologist with over three decades of experience designing embedded, monitoring, and time-critical systems across telecommunications and software domains. He has led architecture and prototype efforts for major providers like Time Warner Cable and founded Tesselae LLC to deliver AI-enabled solutions and IP video systems for Fortune 100 clients. A hands-on builder, he combines deep firmware and distributed-systems roots with recent applied expertise in deep learning, autonomous vehicles, VR/AR, and robotics—having led the first team to fully autonomously navigate a test vehicle in Udacity’s self-driving capstone. John’s work blends practical production troubleshooting (including real-time IPv6 monitoring using Raspberry Pis) with patent-backed prototyping and a persistent maker mentality evidenced by founding a local maker space. He brings rare cross-disciplinary fluency from low-level firmware to modern ML stacks (TensorFlow/Keras, CUDA, ROS) and a track record of turning experimental concepts into operational deployments.
