Hi all! My name is Celeste Baranski and I recently joined Numenta as VP engineering. I won¹t be actively contributing to this list very much, but I enjoy reading the activity it¹s helping me to understand what¹s going on in the HTM world. I¹ve worked with NuPIC before in 2007 I started a company, called Vitamin D, with several ex-Palm/ Handspring colleagues, for the purpose of developing on NuPIC. We wrote the Vitamin D Toolkit (the first NuPIC developer¹s toolkit does anyone remember this?) and then did a cool vision related app before the recession caused us to shut our doors in 2010. I¹m super excited to be back working on this project my role at Numenta is to help offload Jeff, Subutai, Matt and the team so they can spend more time on research and working with the community.
