Q: What are some of your tips and tricks to get the very most out of workshop sessions?
Use structured engagement: set rules of engagement, limit distractions, and balance lecture with practical, interactive segments. Be transparent about when you'll answer questions, offer to follow up if needed, and create a safe space with trauma-informed facilitation.

Q: What was the moment you realized computer vision could actually save lives?
The moment came during work at Vulcan Steel and a Microsoft conference when they first saw computer vision and realized it could be taught to see; a hackathon at Datacom then validated the idea, and a hands-on prototype followed, showing that vision could be used to identify unsafe behaviors.
