About

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." - Albert Einstein I bring the mindset of an engineer and the structure of a program manager to every AI initiative I lead. I designed ML pipelines that processed over 50,000 messages per day to detect anomalies in real time and built automation that reduced provisioning time from hours to minutes. Before that, at Barclays, I led AI and analytics initiatives in risk and compliance - cutting false positives by 99% by scalable MLOps programs.
