About

At Yahoo, my work revolves around enhancing security and performance through machine learning, where I've significantly reduced TensorFlow model latency and addressed vulnerabilities. My academic journey culminated with a PhD in Computer Science from Binghamton University, where I delved into Gaussian Conditional Random Fields. My expertise in machine learning isn't just theoretical; it's proven in practice, with tangible improvements like a 21% reduction in phone ID calls due to updated abuse classifiers. Our team's dedication to advancing Yahoo's technology stack is rooted in a deep understanding of algorithms and a commitment to operational excellence.
