My areas of interest include basic and applied NLP research, leading state-of-the-art AI/ML/data science projects, and managing cross-functional teams that tackle a wide variety of challenges. I have a particular interest in using technology to make a positive impact on the world, whether it be through developing NLP tools for autonomous applications or by leveraging AI in materials science. In addition to my wide AI expertise, I also have experience in HPCs, topology design, cyber security, and infrastructure. I enjoy living at the intersection of engineering, leadership, product, and business, and I believe that investing in people is the key to achieving great outcomes. The best way to do that is to empower the brilliant people on my teams and make sure they thrive at all points in their life and career - not just while they’re on my team.
