Dan Osterman

AI Product Engineer & Creative Technologist

AI product engineer who takes generative models out of the demo and into real productions. I’ve integrated more than 100 image, video and audio models into creative workflows and connected them to the tools artists already use. Work made on the platform I help build has aired on Channel 5 in the UK and been recognized at film festivals. Before software I co-founded a camper van rental company, was a founding employee at a fast-growing startup in a highly regulated industry, and wrestled Division I at Michigan State.
