Cupertino, Ca

I am currently looking for a job in data science and/or machine learning, in either industry or a research lab. Ideally, I'd like to have a split between fundamental research work and applied work; but I would be open to discussing any type of job in the machine learning space. Please see my CV for details on my experience.
