I specialize in building and deploying Generative AI solutions that drive innovation across domains such as speech recognition, large language models (LLMs), and multimodal systems. With a strong foundation in full-stack engineering, I bring models to life by fine-tuning, deploying to production, and establishing robust feedback loops for continuous improvement through real-world annotations. Highlights of my work include:- Leading the production deployment of multiple Generative AI models, achieving impactful results in diverse applications.- Developing an in-house evaluation tool for Generative AI models, which has become a widely adopted standard for model assessment.- Innovating with open-source tools and techniques to accelerate experimentation and deliver cutting-edge AI capabilities.- Passionate about building systems that learn, adapt, and perform, I thrive at the intersection of AI innovation and practical impact.

Lead Data Scientist supporting the Creator Marketing organization aimed at helping artists and their teams grow their audience.- Built proprietary natural language processing models deployed at scale to turn social media from a black box to a valuable source of user feedback. Enabled teams to measure user sentiment across our user base not only in the aggregate but for specific topics of conversation. Fully responsible for the data pipelining to collect data via scraping and APIs, building out the end to end ML pipeline, deploying that model to the GCP production environment, and the final web application to share results with stakeholders across the organization.- Built ML driven marketing attribution models. These models empowered growth and business teams to understand the marketing channels and campaigns that were driving revenue as well as identify opportunities for funnel optimization.
