I led the Data Science team focused on Netflix’s billion-dollar infrastructure. This includes all the cloud infrastructure that Netflix rents from AWS as well as Netflix’s custom-built global content distribution network. My team built ML models and optimization algos, experimentation methods and tools, as well as data and analytics, all designed to improve the efficiency, quality and reliability of Netflix.

FLYR is using AI to change how airlines price tickets. In my role at FLYR, I spearheaded the creation of an end-to-end ML development platform to accelerate model deployment. I later was promoted to Head of Product, overseeing a team of 22 across multiple locations. Notable achievements include transforming bespoke solutions into FusionRM 2, a cutting-edge revenue management platform deployed on Google AI Platform.

Radius Intelligence was developing a curated data set of US businesses to connect B2B marketing and sales teams to potential customers. I led the data science team who was responsible for the quality and comprehensiveness of this data. We monitored every stage of the data ingestion and curation pipeline and built models to detect and address quality issues. We also worked closely with engineering teams to improve systems that did entity resolution, search space reduction, and clustering.

Discovery Digital Networks (DDN), produced Discovery Channel branded, short form video content for online distribution. I was hired to build a system that would provide visibility into content performance across multiple distribution channels. I was later asked to lead the entire data and engineering organization, where I modernized the DDN tech stack and enabled better data-driven decision-making across the organization.

I was fortunate enough to be able to study physics at the UC Davis Department of Physics. My focus area was complex systems and computation, specifically using simulation to better understand earthquakes. In the latter portion of my studies, I was awarded a NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship which funded my research.

I was a designer and product manager for the team responsible for developing the Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital suite of public websites. This included the primary site for each institution but also a host of department websites. I helped establish a consistent design language that tied all of these sites together. I also worked with hospital and college staff to develop content strategy.

I was a designer and later the leader of the design team at this 70 person technology consulting firm during the height of the dot-com boom. I worked closely with dozens of clients ranging from start-ups, to small businesses, to giant corporations on design and UX for web applications. I also worked to improve the quality of UX and design work across all of Xperts through hiring, design reviews and guidance and mentorship.
