About

Leading AI innovation in the media content space with over 2 years of hands-on experience. I have a proven track record of deploying agent-based ML systems into production, driving complex projects from concept to delivery, and mentoring fellow engineers. My focus areas include machine learning for media, vision transformers, multimodal models, and building scalable, cost-efficient solutions that power content intelligence at scale. I am highly motivated and thrive in fast-paced environments. I hold several pending patents related to applying AI in media technologies and have been honored with 2 Emmy Awards for pioneering work on transcoding and managing media at scale in the cloud. Beyond technical execution, I bring experience in defining product requirements and roadmaps while collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders. I have also built and maintained software services that achieved exponential growth over time, and I am currently leading efforts to incorporate LLM/AI technologies to automate and enhance existing workflows.
