Leading a team of 20+ PMs, partnering with 500+ engineers, to democratize state of the art ML for the worldCloud TPUs, On Device ML, Generative AI, Applied ML, ML Experimentation and Workflow Automation solutions

[Candidate Labs]I worked with the Head of Data Science and CEO to design the machine learning product architecture for recruiter enablement, prioritize data projects and define scope and specifications, and introduce and enforce best practices for validating ML models and deploying models in production. In a 7-week engagement, I helped the team achieve improved alignment and clarity on the prioritization of work, demonstrated how to scope machine learning research and product development effectively upfront for both supervised and unsupervised models, introduced processes for working with Engineering and Product teams to ensure stakeholder buy-in, led two models end-to-end from specification to validation, and provided the executive team with an assessment of opportunities and challenges.[The Cusp]Advisor for menopause prediction experiment design, data collection and modeling

Trace Genomics has developed the first analytics engine that learns as it maps the living soil. We are an interdisciplinary team of bioinformaticians, data scientists, software engineers, and molecular biologists, working together to serve the farming community and help growers maximize the value of every acre. As Cofounder and CEO:- I raised 22M in financing and grew the company to 45 employees- Led the development and launch of the "23andMe for Soil" test for soil microbials- Led the design and implementation of the machine learning and genomic analytics platform- Developed the GTM strategy and product differentiation for the test and the analytics platform- Recruited engineers, data scientists, product managers, soil scientists, sales associates, and agronomists at the management and IC level- Direct reports: engineering, data science, product (2015-2019), and lab operations (2019-)

Joined company as employee #10 while incubating at Khosla Ventures. Took on product management, business development, and backend engineering roles. - Led product development of medical imaging product, user story mapping and interviews with several hospitals- Supported CEO in customer contract negotiations and helped to win critical contract with Virtual Radiology group. - Led the development of customer-facing predictive solutions on the MetaMind platform, including intracranial hemorrhage and diabetic retinopathy- Implemented deep learning algorithms (Python) for natural language processing to predict entity based sentiment.
