Welcome to Ben Brooks' corner of the internet.

About me:

I'm a software engineer, runner, and avid reader who lives in New York City.
I grew up in Arlington, Virginia and recently finished school at the University of Southern California.
I've built software & ml systems at bit.io, Compass, Microsoft, EatUp, and Oath.
I'm currently interested in making machine learning controllable, accessible, and scalable for everyone.

I am more active on the following:

• Twitter
• LinkedIn
• Goodreads
• Strava
• ben AT directai DOT io

Some fun stuff:

• a computer vision company i'm helping build
• a little computer I made on minecraft
• a chimney filter I helped build for wood-burners in Fairbanks
• the only DT article I was quoted in during college
• my kombucha journal

I am not a frontend developer and I take inspiration from Nat Friedman.
