Jordan Gilfillan
I'm a software engineer and yoga teacher. I spent more than two decades building scientific imaging systems; more recently, I've worked with AI and language. I'm interested in tools and practices that help people see more clearly, and I'm still finding out where that interest is taking me.
Where I've been
I started as a lab tech taking reflectance measurements at Surface Optics and eventually became a senior software engineer. I worked on hyperspectral cameras, real-time processing, and the software that turns raw measurements into something people can use. That work taught me to enjoy the hard middle part: getting from an interesting idea to a tool that holds up.
What I'm exploring
I've been building with language models and thinking about memory, attention, and how people understand themselves. I also practice and teach yoga, and spend a lot of time cooking. These aren't all one project. They're the things I'm learning from and bringing into whatever I do next.
