Head of Embedded Electronics

Want to make a real world impact? 

There’s no better place than the confluence of cutting edge robotic technology, AI, climate, and agriculture. 52% of agricultural land is degraded by current management practices. 60-75% of original soil carbon has been lost in lands used for agriculture (according to the IPCC).

At Aigen, we are accelerating change in traditional agriculture practices and regenerating our land: Terraforming our own planet with scalable data and action.
