Advising on data strategy including platform decisions, hiring, etc. Helping build ML-driven product features to bring you closer to your best friend.

As the first Head of Data Science at Oura, I hired the data science team and kept them engaged and productive with almost perfect retention over my tenure. Our team developed and maintained machine learning algorithms driving health and wellness features that power a million rings worldwide, like sleep staging, activity detection and exercise heart rate tracking.

I led machine learning, data science, and probabilistic AI at Viome, a startup making waves in the field of individualized wellness and healthcare thanks to the unique microbiome data provided by our RNA sequencing & analysis technology. My team and I worked on modeling our customers' biological data and health outcomes. We turned that data into scientific discoveries including an FDA approved cancer diagnostic, and built the ML features that drive our consumer product.

Applied data science and machine learning research, with a focus on recommender systems and search. Among other things, I developed algorithms for movie recommendation; to improve user profiling; to guide the production and acquisition of new content; and to track and summarize social media buzz.

NLP and machine learning engineering for speech synthesis, including development of intelligent agent voices for high-profile clients like Apple.
