About

I lead the Enterprise AI & Automation Center of Excellence at MGM Resorts International. I am an AI Executive and Mathematician specializing in building and scaling engineering organizations to deliver the next generation of AI solutions. My experience as both a hands-on engineer and a strategic leader has shaped my core belief: the next phase of AI isn't just about building better models; it's about the mathematics required for true innovation, proper AI governance, and AIOps infrastructure. I am dedicated to cultivating a mindset of technical excellence and iterative delivery within the teams building AI today. I am passionate about ensuring that as Las Vegas evolves into a global tech hub, our local talent is at the forefront of that transformation. My goal is to use my voice to inspire and mentor the next generation of Engineers and Data Scientists, and I aim to empower underrepresented voices in tech.
