Manage a team of engineers focused on customer support and market demand creation for our AI accelerator devices offering compute at the memory for computer vision applications. Focused on CNNs for image recognition, detection, segmentation, vision transformers and NLP models. Also focus on GenAI implementations for the datacenter markets.• Create partnerships with universities and technology companies to provide solutions in edge computing markets such as automotive, agriculture, smart retail, military and computer vision• Drive software improvements based on the voice of the customer and market demands• Created customer collateral (trainings, presentations, whitepapers, etc.) at an abstracted level for easier digestion• Managed cross functional teams to drive alignment and cooperation with different teams in the company• Created strategies and GTM plans to penetrate a variety of new markets

Worked as the head of the AI development collaborating with multiple partners and universities to develop different Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions on our FPGA ranging from Computer Vision CNNs, Conversational AI, and large language model acceleration for generative AI using models such as Llama2 for a variety of different vertical markets.• Created GTM plans/strategies and performed market analysis to bring the solutions to market• Supported the sales organization with business development efforts to break into new markets for our products and solutions• Led cross-functional teams to produce a strategy for SEU capabilities, High Level Design tools, various features of the development software

Started as an applications engineer and tech specialist for the FPGA division (formerly Altera). Was the SME for a variety of technologies including the embedded ARM processor, Matlab DSP Builder, and high level design tools. Launched the High Level Design tools effort to make FPGAs easier to program with OpenCL and HLS compilers as the product marketing lead. Launched the AI effort at Intel showing how CPU + FPGA could outperform, in power, latency and performance, the leading GPUs for inference solutions in the automotive, medical, retail, military, and industrial markets as the product marketing lead and product planner. Then moved back to applications engineering to become the field specialist for our acceleration stack and smart NIC efforts. Finished my stint here as the Director of Business Development in the Military,Aerospace and government group. Worked on expanding the market for our products and supporting the development of new devices with embedded RF Dataconverters embedded in package with the DoD. Worked on expanding US Manufacturing with the CHIPs for America act and the SHIPs programs.
