What I'm looking for

I'm looking to run research as a function or an entire organization on a problem that matters, with the mandate to set direction, build the team, and be accountable for whether it lands.

I've led the AI and research function behind Let's Enhance and Claid.ai, shipping generative-image pipelines for e-commerce and marketing and building the evaluation discipline required to trust them. My work spans diffusion, GANs, vision-language models, LLMs, and visual agentic orchestration.

Previously, I built Snappet's Data Science department from zero into two teams and brought personalization models trained on multi-billion-record datasets to production for more than 330,000 daily students. Across MIT, Children's National, Harvard/Brigham and Women's, and industry, I've worked on medical sensing, imaging biomarkers, reinforcement learning, and production ML; I bring 19 years in ML R&D, 34 peer-reviewed papers, 1,500+ citations, three granted US patent families, and a PhD.
