Jen Selby is a Machine Learning Engineer at Blue River Technology, a company specializing in computer vision and robotics. It develops farm machinery which can identify and weeds and spray them individually with herbicide as tractors move through fields.

Jen describes herself as a geek, someone who loved math from a young age. With an undergraduate degree in computer science from MIT, she is a life-long learner. She volunteered to attend classes in UC Berkeley's Master's of Statistics program (while working full time) where she learned about Machine Learning for her then-employer. Later, she took time away from the tech industry to work as a computer science teacher and became one of the first in the United States to develop an AI curriculum for high school students
