What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead AI, data science, and product teams building safe, production-grade generative AI, personalization, and customer experience platforms with measurable business impact.

I've built and commercialized AI products across Glytec, Nokia, Endurance International/Newfold Digital, Aura, Constant Contact, and Matchmine. At Glytec, I designed Responsible AI testing and validation for an LLM-powered clinical reporting module and developed a real-time model predicting hypoglycemia up to 24 hours in advance.

Previously, I led Nokia's personalization and recommendation services across 100MM+ devices in 15+ countries, helping grow the Nokia App Store from 1M to 11M downloads per day in 18 months. I've led data science, analytics engineering, and engineering teams, built unified data platforms and production ML systems, and hold nine U.S. patents in recommendation systems and personalization.
