About Me
Hello, I'm Ian Sotnek. I'm a biomechanist / neuroscientist, turned startup founder & product manager, turned AI engineer and researcher. This career arc has made me a very good technical & non-technical communicator, a rigorous experimenter, and someone who is driven to get things done. Currently I split time between Tribe AI, where I served as tech lead and AI engineering contractor; and AI Squared, a startup I co-founded, where I now deliver AI/ML and data science and engineering solutions to customers in the U.S. Federal government.
