About

My work sits at the intersection of AI architecture and institutional strategy, combining the operational discipline of a Forbes-recognized founder with the rigor of academic research. As AI Technical Lead at Stanford Legal Design Lab, I architect responsible knowledge systems (RAG, Agentic AI, Governance) and conduct ongoing research on LLM performance with Professor Haim Mendelson at the GSB. Previously, I advised global enterprises on Digital Transformation, leveraging deep expertise in PyTorch and Azure and scaled a logistics firm from zero to 170+ employees. I am committed to bridging the gap between engineering and inquiry, actively teaching AI at Stanford CST and guest lecturing at the Law School and GSB. I’ve had the privilege of sharing my insights as a guest speaker at a Stanford University GSB, the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), the Zurich University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons, Silicon Valley Google Developer Group, and many more. Core Competencies: >AI & Digital Strategy: Aligning technical roadmaps with institutional research goals. >Technical Architecture: RAG, Knowledge Systems, Semantic Search. >AI Governance: Ensuring compliance, fairness, and data safety in deployed models.
