From his homepage:

Putting the best AI into the hands of the best creators to tell otherwise impossible stories.

I'm a Staff Research Scientist at [Google DeepMind](https://deepmind.google/), studying how humans and machines create together. I launched the [Veo](https://deepmind.google/models/veo/) video models and the [Flow](https://flow.google.com/) filmmaking tool, and contributed to [Gemini Omni](https://deepmind.google/models/gemini-omni/). I was Technical Director on [*ANCESTRA*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEs9miwtwh4), which premiered at Tribeca, and worked on [*Love, Rendered*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYlsVEtKe-8) and the reconstruction of [Pelé's "lost" goal](https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/google-deepmind/reconstructing-peles-lost-goal/).

[Canadian Comedy Award](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Comedy_Award)-winning improvisor with [Rapid Fire Theatre](https://rapidfiretheatre.com/), [Improbotics](https://improbotics.org/), and [Die Nasty](https://dienastysoaps.com/). Created the first AI to perform live improv.
