Top SchoolOgnjen Todic is a hands-on technical and product leader with 11+ years of experience building and commercializing on-device speech recognition and ASR SDKs as CEO of Keen Research. He has a long entrepreneurial track record—founding Tunezee (whose tech became part of Shazam), Aphasia Corner, and steering product and R&D work for clients like Stanford, Pearson, and Rosetta Stone. At Keen Research he leads development of DNN-based speech models that run on iOS, Android and custom hardware, powering consumer and educational apps such as Noggin, PBSKids, Novel Effect, and others. His background blends deep speech research (HTK-era acoustic modeling and neural approaches) with product leadership and licensing experience across entertainment, AR and enterprise markets. A Stanford MS in Electrical Engineering and decades of hands-on R&D give him rare breadth from low-level model implementation to strategic partnerships and exits. He’s currently hiring and actively commercializing embedded ASR tech from his San Francisco base.
