Tech, AI, and Life from your resident Chaos coordinator.
Currently, I’m building next-generation AI products at Microsoft through the Office of the CTO with an emphasis on multimodal and large language models.
Over the last decade, I’ve successfully launched applied ML products across industries in health, gaming, finance, defense, energy, autonomous vehicles, semiconductors, and enterprise tech.
I’ve held product management roles at SambaNova Systems and C3.ai building out ML Platforms and deep learning offerings to enterprise customers. I continue to be an active ML practitioner and was the first data science hire at Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group working on building large scale computer vision and sensor fusion algorithms for self-driving cars.
Proud alum of UC Berkeley! Go Bears!

🤔 Want to hear how Microsoft's Copilots are built?
Next week I’ll be speaking at The AI Conference 2023 and presenting on “Cooking with the Semantic Kernel: Recipes for Building Chatbots, Agents, and More with Large Language Models.”
Especially following Microsoft's recent announcements for Copilots across many of their products, join me as we dive deep into the Copilot Stack, the importance of AI orchestration, and how you can use the Semantic Kernel to build this yourself!
If you're in SF, hope to see you there!
