About James Truxon

Machine learning is the crossing point for the skills and interests that I\'ve developed throughout my student and professional career: physics, mathematics, coding, philosophy, neurobiology, and process automation; I will be building and investigating the boundaries of this space until I retire, and beyond.Like many powerful technologies, it has the capability of benefiting the world or breaking it. My goal is to be designing systems that are robust allies in a sea of massive data warehousing, unblinking eyes in the right place to keep people safe and processes optimized, and ethically sound methods of advancing the field.
