Abe Usher
Engineer, founder, and veteran building AI for national security.
I’m co-founder and Co-CEO of Black Cape, where we engineer trustworthy AI systems that give US defense and intelligence teams a decisive edge. I still work as an engineer. I created the open-source timehash algorithm and I’m a named inventor on two US patents that grew out of it. Before Black Cape I co-founded HumanGeo and worked as a senior engineer at Google.

New methods of advanced space-time analysis, and ways to automate semantic pattern analysis in large collections of text.
