I spearhead the development and implementation of cutting-edge AI solutions to drive innovation and efficiency across Syndio. This includes building and leading a high-performing team of data scientists and engineers; creating internal tools that help our teams leverage AI in applications specific to sales, domain experts, engineers, HR and managers; and building prototypes of applied math solutions to solve customer problems with software. I also established our ethical AI policies and governance to ensure responsible AI usage throughout the organization and in our products. I'm passionate about fostering a culture of AI adoption and innovation through hackathons, training, and knowledge sharing.
