As a seasoned AI/ML leader with over 12 years of experience, I specialize in building scalable machine learning platforms and AI-driven solutions that drive business impact. Currently, I serve as Manager, Machine Learning and AI at Addepar, where I am part of a mission-driven team focused on reinventing wealth management through cutting-edge AI technologies. Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams and delivered complex AI/ML projects across industries, including fintech(most recently), enterprise platforms, contact centres, network security and AI-powered automation. My work spans from designing high-performance MLOps infrastructure to building end-to-end machine learning pipelines that deliver real-time insights and automation for high-stakes decision-making. A strong advocate for AI governance, risk, and compliance, I also bring deep experience in aligning AI initiatives with business goals while ensuring ethical and regulatory adherence. I have collaborated with diverse stakeholders, from product teams to legal, to drive AI innovation at scale. This includes positioning products as leaders in Gartner reports and delivering AI-powered tools that enhance customer self-service frameworks. My expertise lies in delivering tangible results, whether it's reducing operational costs, improving customer experience, or enhancing self-service frameworks with AI-powered tools. I thrive on solving challenging problems, particularly around AI/ML platform engineering, LLMs, DL and mentoring teams to push the boundaries of what's possible.
