While studying the intersection of language and computation at the University of Michigan, Ty built dialogue management systems as a software engineer. Motivated to make them leverage machine learning more, he grew from the first product manager to a Group PM at Rasa, where his open-source ML framework for conversational interfaces had millions of downloads, 17k stars on GitHub, and was used by ~10% of the Fortune 500. He is now on a mission to make building software feel like making music.
