About

With over ten years at Meta, I lead the AI Platforms Engineering team specializing in applied AI solutions for Llama and PyTorch. Focused on delivering core developer solutions, APIs and cross-platform SDKs, our mission is to simplify access, configuration, and deployment of Meta's AI platforms, driving adoption among developers, partners, and users worldwide. Contributions include launching Llama models, creating the Llama Recipes framework, and empowering creators with generative AI tools. Before Meta, I co-founded MightyText, scaling it to over 25M+ MAUs, and built its initial Android app and Google Cloud backend. My experience spans AI, ML, mobile engineering, and cloud computing, coupled with a passion for building global engineering teams and fostering innovation.
