About

With over 9 years of experience in machine learning and big data, I am a leader and innovator in applying AI to various domains, from health and wellness to content discovery and recommendation. Currently, I'm delighting customers at Zapier by leading the Canvas Engineering Team - a product that helps users visualize, build and automate their workflows. I held dual CTO roles at DMN8 Inc. and Head of AI EQ Fitness, Inc., where I oversee the technical vision and strategy of both companies. As the co-founder and head of AI at EQ Fitness, I created and managed ML engineering projects that deliver innovative solutions for the fitness industry, such as personalized exercise plans, wearable-free tracking and data-driven coaching. Previously, I led a team of 15 ML engineers and data scientists at Taboola, where we developed and deployed cutting-edge ML and big data products for online content discovery and recommendation, reaching over 1.4 billion users per month. My specialty was cross-team integration and collaboration. I am passionate about programming and learning new technologies that can improve our lives and well-being.
