I’m Dandelion Mané—a creative technologist, an avid partner dancer (especially Brazilian Zouk, Kizomba, Blues, and Fusion), and a spiritually curious human.
I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with many interesting teams over the years. Some highlights from my career include:
- At Google Brain, I created TensorBoard and contributed to research including Concrete Problems in AI Safety.
- At Protocol Labs, I founded and led SourceCred, developing algorithms for attributing value in open-source communities.
- With Tyler Hobbs, I co-created QQL, a participatory generative art project.
- As a founding engineer at Duramata, I built personalized AI agents.
I love discovering unexpected connections. That impulse shows up in software that feels engaging and relatable, in dropping deeply into embodied connection through dance, and in philosophically rich one-on-one conversations.
Right now, I’m taking time to focus on community and nonprofit projects, including Reverie Ballroom in Seattle and the Matsya Foundation.
