Cortico’s engineering team are a brilliant, creative and curious bunch of humans. Since our founding by Deb Roy, Eugene Yi and Russell Stevens, Cortico has sought to bring analytical and design ingenuity to the work of building a more humane society and world. 

As they solved the many technical puzzles involved with building human-centered technology, our technical team has recorded the solutions they found along the way. Following are some bright highlights from our previous blog, hosted on Medium, which we think still contain nuggets of insight and displays of technical ingenuity.
