Platform Architect, Responsive Retail

After leaving my full time position, I was involved in RetailNext's efforts in an advisory role, helping to guide innovation efforts and to help technologies built during my tenure as Head of R&D reach their full potential. I also spoke at various events on behalf of RetailNext.

As an early employee of the company, I built a small, high caliber team that developed many groundbreaking, patented technologies that continue to drive business results for retailers and revenues for RetailNext. As Head of Research and Development, I was responsible for several key areas of RetailNext's game changing retail analytics stack:- Conceived and led several hardware programs from prototype to manufacturing at scale, culminating in the Aurora sensor: http://retailnext.net/aurora/- Led teams that built key foundational software components that are currently deployed in every store (30,000+) RetailNext services worldwide- Conceived, designed, and led the team that built Full Path Analysis, an innovative, integrated platform for in-store understanding. Full Path Analysis now generates significant revenue for the company and has led to substantial press and industry accolades. - Led data science initiatives that led to new understanding of in-store behavior, which continue to drive business initiatives and optimizations for retailers.I also provided the primary technical external-facing vision, sales, and marketing support for the company, speaking regularly at conferences and other events, and engaging directly with retail customers.

Player tracking data is transforming the sports experience, and Second Spectrum is at the forefront of this revolution. Leveraging unique capabilities in spatiotemporal pattern recognition and machine learning, we transform this data into highly specific and actionable analytics for professional teams, while enhancing storylines for broadcasters and creating new interactive experiences for all sports fans.

Working with Artaic founder Ted Acworth, I wrote software that turned an artist's image file into a specification suitable for input to Artaic's mosaic manufacturing robot. See https://vimeo.com/91525001 My "pixels to tiles" approach was an industry first and currently has several patents pending.

I started this web hosting company as a hobby so that I could learn about Linux system administration. As Mezoom grew into a legitimate business, I learned about many other areas including remote management, DNS, scalable systems and load balancing, fault tolerance, and managing distributed teams of engineers. A highlight for me personally, however, was the security work that was required in order to keep "script kiddies" and hackers from taking down the high profile entertainment sites we were hosting.

I worked on several projects related to making sense of noisy sensor data, particularly from video analytics. - Human Speechome Project: the goal was to understand how a single child came to learn language via dense longitudinal analysis. The child's home was outfitted with 14 video cameras and 11 microphones to capture digitally his every waking moment. I built systems for tracking the locations of people in 2+ years of multi-camera video and tying that tracking to transcribed audio. My thesis introduced statistical methods for analysis of this complex dataset.- Retail video analytics: in partnership with several large retailers who were also Media Lab sponsors, I worked to bring some of the techniques developed for the Speechome Project to bear on understanding customer movement in retail environments. My thesis is here: http://divinepenguin.com/resumolio/pdf/gshaw_thesisfinal1.pdf

DivinePenguin was an ever changing loose coalition of creatives and technologists that I started and led after One Ten Design closed its doors. We often worked directly with the creative "talent" on entertainment projects, which was unusual at the time - directors and musicians rather than studio execs and record label marketers. Much of the work that I spearheaded is cataloged here: http://divinepenguin.com/resumolio/

During my brief stint as Creative Director at Deep Focus, I drove execution of the award winning "Interview with Ari" online experience. This AI-driven app was to promote HBO's popular Entourage series. See http://divinepenguin.com/resumolio/pdf/interactiveagency2007.pdf

I've always loved to teach and spent 8 years at Otis doing exactly that. I taught many different classes while there, always centered around putting powerful technical tools in the hands of extremely creative individuals.

One Ten Design began with just two of us and eventually grew to include 20+ designers, programmers, producers, and creative superstars. We produced many world class interactive experiences for top entertainment clients, including New Line Cinema, Universal Music, MGM, and Fox. Highlights include the entire online presence for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the award winning immersive website for The Cell.

Big Gun was arguably the first studio to produce a website for a Hollywood movie with Showgirls in 1995. I arrived a little later and helped to move the needle in terms of what was possible in an entertainment website, building interactive experiences for features like James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies, and The Big Lebowski.
