About

AI & MLOps Engineer with 10+ years of experience leading innovation and scaling AI systems from concept to production. Currently at TIER IV, I focus on building scalable MLOps infrastructure for autonomous driving — enabling continuous training, deployment, and developer velocity in support of TIER IV’s mission to co-create value, disruptively and reimagine intelligent vehicles through open source. Previously, as CTO, I drove 0-to-1 growth and international expansion for a deep-tech joint venture between major global enterprises, leading cross-functional teams, securing strategic partnerships, and implementing AI initiatives that accelerated delivery and customer growth. Passionate about bridging leadership, strategy, and engineering, I specialize in creating systems and organizations that turn research breakthroughs into sustainable, real-world impact.
