I cofounded TYZX, Inc. in October, 2000 with Gaile Gordon and Ron Buck. The name "TYZX" was formed from three spatial coordinates X, Y, and Z, and the temporal coordinate T, to suggest 3 dimensional measurements in real time. TYZX is pronounced like "physics." Until July, 2012, I was the Chief Technical Officer at TYZX, writing a lot of software, and architecting systems and chips...
Before TYZX, I spent seven years, as a member of the research staff, at Paul Allen's think tank, Interval Research Corporation. At Interval Research, I worked on SIMD, parallel programming environments and systems, stereo vision, and FPGA algorithms and platforms for doing computationally intensive computer vision tasks. The most apparent outcomes of these years were the Census Correlation algorithm, frame-rate stereo vision on an FPGA platform, and the DeepSea I stereo correlation chip.
