About

I build safer, smarter digital ecosystems. As a product leader at the intersection of Generative AI, Trust & Safety, and large-scale platform development, my focus is on transforming complex challenges into trusted, cutting-edge solutions. My work is centered on building trust at scale: šŸ—ŗļø Generative AI & UGC: Currently, as a Senior PM on the Google Maps User-Generated Content team, I'm leveraging Generative AI to ensure the information from millions of users is not just accurate, but also safe, reliable, and helpful. šŸ›”ļø Anti-Financial Crime: I previously led the strategy for Google's Anti-Financial Crime platform, architecting AML solutions that protect over $20B in GMV across products like GPay and Google Cloud. šŸš€ AI-Powered Moderation: At PayPal, I built the User-Generated Content (UGC) moderation platform from the ground up, using AI/ML to reduce harmful content complaints by 80% and enable safer user experiences on products like Venmo. With a background that includes co-founding an eLearning startup, I thrive on leading cross-functional teams—uniting Product, Engineering, Data Science, Legal, and Compliance—to navigate ambiguity and deliver impactful results. I'm always open to discussing the future of responsible AI and building community-powered products.
