About

I’m an engineering leader with a track record of turning deep ambiguity—technical, organizational, and product—into large-scale, durable systems. I thrive in environments where the stakes are high, the problems are open-ended, and the path forward requires first-principles thinking. My background spans data platforms, machine learning, privacy, security, identity, trust, devices, large-scale location systems, networking, and wireless infrastructure. I enjoy building teams and technologies that operate at global scale, and I’m most energized when working on ambitious, multi-year bets that require both architectural clarity and cross-functional alignment. Over my career, I’ve incubated and led products and platforms used by billions of people and driving significant revenue impact. I’ve also remained active in technical thought leadership—authoring nearly 30 peer-reviewed publications and holding 37+ patents. What motivates me most is building foundational technology with meaningful real-world impact—systems that redefine how people and enterprises work.

Experience

Ema

Co-Founder and CTO

Mar 2023 – Present · 3 yrs · San Francisco Bay Area · On-site

At Ema, I’m building toward a Universal AI Employee—an agentic AI platform that works alongside humans to automate repetitive work and unlock more strategic, creative work.
In the first 2.5 years I helped build:
Agentic systems that emulate core enterprise functions
Integration infrastructure connecting AI agents to SaaS, data, and internal systems
A Generative Workflow Engine that turns business processes into a production-ready agent mesh
Agentic experiences across voice, chat, dashboards, docs, and slides
As the platform matured, I shifted to leading Solutions & Customer Success, working with enterprises in Finance, Customer Support, Employee Experience, Healthcare, and Sales to deploy AI Employees that drive measurable outcomes.
Highlights:
Invented EmaFusion, the Generative Workflow Engine, Agentic AI Clinic, and a new value-engineering approach
Hired and led 200+ people across 3 continents
Helped scale revenue to well north of 8 figures

I am part of the Seamless Mobility group at the Networking and Mobility Laboratory at HP Labs. At HPL, I work on a few broad areas - wireless connectivity, indoor localization, mobile sensing and cloud based mobile data analytics.
At HP, I am the creator of HP Location Aware. HP Location Aware is the first indoor positioning system that does not require any additional hardware, or expensive periodic on-site calibration but can still find the location of any WiFi-enabled mobile device within 1 meter. More information at:
