Scouting report
Led TensorFlow engineering at Google, taking the internal DistBelief system and shipping it as an open-source framework with a public API, documentation and a community. For several years TensorFlow was simply how machine learning was done outside a handful of labs, and that was an engineering and release-management achievement as much as a research one.
Curator’s note
Somebody has to make the internal thing safe to hand to strangers.
