About

I'm the CEO of Lighthouz AI. Lighthouz AI agents automate AR and AP in logistics. I have been a CS professor at Georgia Tech. Prior, I worked at Google and Stanford, and have built AI systems that have been used in production at Meta, Wikipedia, Home Depot, etc. I have been building core AI models for the last 14+ years experience & have written 60+ publications in the topic at top most peer-reviewed Data Mining and NLP conferences. My papers have been cited 5800+ times. My research expertise is in Natural Language Processing, Generative AI, Foundation Models, Graph machine learning, Data Mining, Text Mining. I build methods that leverage terabytes of data spanning multiple modalities and languages. I build tools that empower users to be more efficient. I am honored to be recognized as an NSF CAREER awardee, Kavli Fellow by National Academy of Sciences, Forbes 30 under 30, CRA Computing Innovation Mentor, Facebook Faculty Research Awardee, Adobe Faculty Research Awardee, Class of 1969 Teaching Fellow, ACM SIGKDD Doctoral Dissertation Award 2018 runner-up, WWW 2017 Best Paper Award runner-up, Larry S. Davis Doctoral Dissertation Award 2017, and Dr. B.C. Roy Gold Medal. My work has been covered in a documentary (Familiar Shapes), in a radio interview (WABE), and by popular press, including Wired, CNN, Wall Street Journal, Tech Crunch, New York Magazine, and more.

  • Lighthouz AI's AI agents solve the biggest problems in logistics - AR and AP!
  • Freight moves fast, but payments don’t. 3PLs, brokers, and carriers lose billions every year to slow invoicing, payment delays, and billing disputes. Manual AP & AR processes create errors, disputes, cash flow bottlenecks, late fees —hurting everyone in the supply chain.
  • 🚛 The Problem:
  • 3PLs & Brokers: Verifying carrier invoices, creating own invoices, and handling disputes and chargebacks.
  • Carriers: Dealing with late payments, incorrect deductions, and manual paperwork.
  • Shippers: Struggling with invoice error identification and resolution, delaying payments.
  • 📉 The Impact: The U.S. freight industry processes over $1.2 trillion in transactions annually, yet 25% of freight invoices contain errors, leading to payment disputes and delays.
  • 🔹 Our Solution:
  • ✅ Automated Invoice Creation – Generate accurate invoices pulling data across systems.
  • ✅ AP & AR Automation – Reduce back-office workload and speed up payments.
  • ✅ Self-Auditing Invoices – Detect discrepancies before they become costly disputes.
  • The future of supply chain finance is frictionless. Ready to unlock cash flow, reduce operational costs, and get paid faster? Let’s talk. 🚀
