Previously, I was a founding engineer at Tusk and built one of the first AI coding agents. Before that, I was a machine learning engineer at Saleswhale (acquired by 6sense), where I developed reliable conversational AI systems to power automated lead conversion in sales and marketing teams. I also delivered machine learning projects at Autodesk and Micron.
The design of this site is inspired by the works of Edward Tufte.
