Hey, I'm Perry. I'm an AI engineer with 8+ years of experience, mostly at early-stage startups in industries that deal with physical things and very messy data (heavy machinery, agriculture, shipping, trade finance).

Right now I'm a principal AI engineer at Digital Iron, building our AI systems, data pipelines and infra.

Looking for full-time or cool project work, ideally on AI for the physical world.
