About

Founder and CEO of Helm.ai, a software startup building the next generation of AI software for autonomous driving. Previously I was co-founding Chief Scientist at Sift Security, which was acquired by Netskope in 2018. Prior to Helm.ai, I was on the faculty at the MIT math department, received a PhD in Mathematics from UC Berkeley, and won several awards for my academic research. My core technical expertise is algorithmic R&D, spanning the areas of applied mathematics, compressive sensing, computer vision, deep learning, unsupervised learning, non-convex optimization and quantum operator theory.
