Summary
****** Formulating AI product strategy, focusing on ML recommendation systems, conversational AI, NLP, generative AI, and ontologies / knowledge graphs. ****** Whether I am delivering personalized features to 90M+ listeners, developing data standards for NASA, or leading a startup through the acquisition process, I pursue every opportunity with a creative vision that unites teams to deliver their best. On the technical side, I have developed ontologies and NLP for knowledge-based systems, created ML-based intention classifiers for emergency help response and developed a semantic registry for the Library of Congress based on open-source software. This open-source experience really opened my eyes to the power of open collaboration. I also believe in the future of equitable AI applications that encourage the goodness of humanity and minimize biases which reinforce systemic inequalities. My opinions are my own/ not representative of any employer.
