At Origin Rose, Jon co-led a software consultancy and incubator, specializing in AI, machine learning, and data science strategy. His technical leadership was instrumental in guiding projects that pushed the boundaries of innovation, including:- Intelligence Project: Led the development of an infinite data set that significantly improved a data classifier, achieving high 90s accuracy and securing further contracts for satellite imagery analysis.- NASA Collaboration: Partnered with Picknik Robotics on NASA SBIR projects, focusing on vision models for space robotics and developing custom semantic models for the ISS.- ML-Driven Collaboration Platform: Spearheaded the development of a data science collaboration and reporting platform, leveraging machine learning to streamline workflows and enhance data-driven decision-making across multiple teams and projects.- Startup Incubation: Successfully incubated and spun out Momentum AI and Slambox as independent startups, both of which originated from innovative projects within Origin Rose.Jon’s role centered on combining technical expertise with strategic leadership, driving forward ambitious projects in partnership with government agencies and industry leaders.

Jon co-founded Momentum AI, transitioning a consulting project into a thriving business focused on high-frequency in-fluid monitoring technology. Key accomplishments include:- Inventing and securing domestic and international patents for novel monitoring solutions.- Building and deploying custom hardware and software platforms for real-time data analysis, used in high-stakes environments such as Alaska, the Middle East, and the Permian Basin.- Serving key clients like ConocoPhillips, NOV, and DOE, delivering real-time insights that informed critical decisions in resource management.

Jon co-founded ThinkTopic, an AI consultancy that grew to a team of 30, including multiple PhDs. Under his leadership, the company delivered advanced machine learning solutions, including:- Conde Nast (Vogue Runway, now Farfetch): Developed one of the first fashion vision-based search MVPs, incorporating color, pattern, and style classification, and laying the groundwork for modern fashion search engines.- NGA Collaboration: Contributed to the development of an international vehicle detector from satellite imagery.Jon's technical direction was pivotal in doubling revenue year-over-year, reaching $2.5M annually, and managing up to five concurrent projects.

Provided consulting services focusing on computer vision, full-stack development, and custom business tools. Developed solutions for medical devices, business logistics, and web applications.

Secured a Google grant to develop a Clojure-based IDE for interactive sound and graphics creation. Led the project from concept to release, minimizing cross-platform dependencies and improving user experience.

Co-founded Demand Evolution, where Jon designed and developed products utilizing computer vision and multi-touch technology. He managed the transition from prototype to manufacturing and delivered products to clients like Apple.
