My first job at Intel was as a Digital Content Creation Technology Evangelist (that's a mouthful), and I see working in the highly creative world of Artificial Intelligence as a natural extension of that. Before Intel, I worked for Mattel as a Senior Artist creating 3D animation for the internet, was a 3D animation tools instructor for the feature animation studios, RFX, and a Lead Animator for Pacific Title|Mirage. In a former life, I was a session singer in LA (my most noteworthy work - if you can call it that- was as the voice of doom for Baywatch, several national commercials, and as the singer of the main characters' theme for the daily soap, Santa Barbara). I'm the author of three novels, Wizrd, Running Cold, and Urban Limit under my pen name, Steve Zell.
