My name is Mark Jackson, founder and AI developer in residence at Anuclei, where we are at the forefront of data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence innovation. I hold both a BA and a master's degree from MIT. I am grounded by a strong foundation in both personal and professional life, cherishing time spent with family and friends, and I am an avid supporter of the San Francisco Giants.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of collaborating with leading technology companies, such as Blue Cross of California, Yahoo!, Symantec, HP, AT&T Labs, Sysdig, Hightail (formerly YouSendIt), Equinix Metal (formerly Packet), and Jasmine Multimedia. Additionally, my professional journey is shaped by my service in the United States Army, where I contributed to high-stakes operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
