Work
Selected leadership arc
Roles where I owned outcomes—not just models—across AI strategy, teams, platforms, and product delivery.
Leading data science at consumer scale. Shaping AI strategy around agentic and LLM systems that move from exploration into organizational impact—hiring, mentoring, and shipping against real product constraints.
Scale-up and platform-oriented work inside a large technology group spanning digital financial services, infrastructure, and industrial technology.
Developed fraud detection algorithms on banking transactions— high-stakes machine learning where precision, latency, and trust all matter.
Led design and delivery of AI services including video recommender, fingerprinting, violence detection, captioning, and tagging—on-prem and as SaaS on AWS Marketplace and SageMaker. Built a distributed hybrid architecture running multiple online AI services across Jetson edge devices and GPU servers. Coached engineers and aligned skills with company trajectory.
Deep learning for video tagging and summarization—bridging research ideas into productized vision systems.
Real-time analysis of network traffic for content moderation of images and video at national infrastructure scale.
High-speed camera control (600 fps), video analysis, and acquisition from sensor arrays at 1M samples/s—integration and analysis under hard timing constraints.
