Jimmy has a passion for finding and succeeding in niche markets. Prior to founding Ai.Fish, Jimmy was Founder and CEO of Akushaper LLC. During his almost 20 years in that role, he made thousands of customer acquisitions, dozens of strategic alliances, and developed the standard for computer-aided surfboard design. Now, Jimmy brings his expertise growing companies to the niche of applying computer vision solutions to complex ocean sustainability and conservation problems. Holding a Masters of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas, Jimmy has a passion for Control Engineering which lends itself to the design constraints for artificial intelligence experiments and Edge hardware. When not working to save life found within the ocean, Jimmy can be found riding the best waves the ocean has to offer.
Justin oversees computer vision and machine learning research at Ai.Fish bringing the latest developments in the field to our team through technical advice. Justin has co-authored and served as PI on computer vision grants in excess of $1M USD. Previously a researcher in the Computational Vision Lab at the California Institute of Technology where he worked on automated vision methods for automated salmon counting; Justin is now completing his PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he is focused on the implementation of AI systems for climate and environmental applications. Justin holds a B.S. with Honors in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from the University of California at Berkeley.
Hailing from the United States, Canada, Kenya, Spain, and Turkey, team meetings at Ai.Fish are a collection of accents, cultures, and climates. We strive to create an atmosphere where each team member has the flexibility to work in a flow state while fostering strategic interactions for collaborative innovation. We believe that technology like computer vision is ready for industries like fishing but isn't accessible. We believe that the commercial fishing industry has an appetite for great software that isn't currently fulfilled. We aim to fill those gaps to support a world where fish remain a critical food, a beneficial livelihood, and a sustained tradition for generations to come.
