Google IO

I have played an important role in many of the Google IO events of the past decade.

May, 2024

My first time with work being presented on the stage of Google I/O was from a WebGL data visualization that I made in 2016 showcasing Google Translate translation data. Sundar on stage showcasing Google Translate data using my visualization

My work on Project Euphonia for Teachable Machine was also on the main stage Sundar Pichai, Steve Saling, myself and Irene Alvarado during the Google I/O Keynote

Since the initial launch of this project it has had an outsized impact. It has been used in Gemini Robotics to showcase embodied reasoning, as well as featured several times at Google IO 2025; including demos in the developer keynote, pre-show and AI sandbox. It is often found at the forefront of where AI finds personality.

Project Euphonia was announced by Sundar in the Google IO keynote in 2019. It is a Google Research initiative focused on helping people with non-standard speech be better understood. For several months, Irene Alvarado and I routinely traveled to Boston to visit the Steve Saling ALS Residence alongside developing Teachable Machine, we came prepared with prototypes and worked closely with Steve and others at the residence to invent novel accessibility tools.

My work for Project Euphonia was an integral part of Sundar's Google IO keynote.
