I am currently a Research Scientist at Google Research in Mountain View, where I am working to make machine learning more robust and reliable and to find effective learning mechanisms, particularly for natural language understanding. Previously, I built out recommender systems at Twitter, where I was responsible for a significant growth in the platform's active user base during my time there. Prior to that, I built out an internet-scale computer vision classification platform at a small startup in SF, which was acquired. I graduated from UC Berkeley in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in 2013. Among other things, I enjoy practicing the violin, classical music (mostly Baroque and Romantic), hiking, trail running, gardening, painting, investing, and Fahrvergnügen. I am curious about most things, deeply humbled and inspired by the natural world, and I will rarely turn down an adventure or an opportunity to learn something new. Do not hesitate to reach out. |
