About

Passionate about making machine learning more efficient and ubiquitously available to improve our everyday lives. Currently, I am a Manager at Nvidia following the acquisition of OmniML, where I served as Chief Architect and Founding Engineer. At Nvidia, we are building a machine learning (ML) platform for algorithmic model optimization to enable efficient and seamless deployment of GenAI at scale. Prior to that, I was a Ph.D. researcher at MIT CSAIL, advised by Prof. Daniela Rus, where my research was focused on efficient deep learning algorithms and autonomous driving. Throughout my professional career, I have been passionate about making ML more easily accessible for individuals and organizations alike by bridging the gap from ML research to user-friendly and scalable AI tools and platforms.
