I am a computer programmer with a deep focus on similarity search (vector databases) and machine learning. Through my work, I’ve learned that a successful AI solution requires more than just accurate predictions; it demands a comprehensive architecture of processes and abstractions that integrates seamlessly into an organization’s operations.As the founder of simMachines, I led the development of explainable AI algorithms that were successfully deployed in Fortune 500 companies. Our work gained significant recognition and culminated in the acquisition of simMachines by InRule Inc. I’m honored to have received an MIT TR35 Innovation Award for my contributions to the field.Listening to users is at the core of my approach—I strive to create solutions that genuinely meet their needs. I take pride in identifying talent and empowering my team to tackle meaningful challenges. Pair-programming with my team is a daily highlight, as we work side by side to build impactful technology.Currently, I am developing a wearable product at the University of Chicago's TMW Center, focused on analyzing and enhancing young children's early language environments.
