Summary
Hello! I am an ML software engineer and leader. In addition to direct contributions, I have built and led engineering teams, run product management, and served as an executive in the crucible of startup life. At Google, I lead Emerging ML, a team which develops and maintains ML defenses for Google Ads. These defenses have substantial daily direct business impact. Earlier, I built the distracted driver detection system used by Cruise vehicles during COVID, deployed in 600+ vehicles. Earlier, for four years, I CTO'd Topology Eyewear, a startup which uses iPhones, ML, and CNC milling to make custom-fit eyeglasses. I also have wide consulting experience ranging from startups to F500s. These days, I am passionate about understanding, extending, and applying the capabilities of LLMs and other forms of Generative AI. I live in San Francisco but spent years in Cambridge, New York, Milan, Oxford, and London. I enjoy working in diverse teams.
