About me
I am a machine learning professional with over seven years of experience leading cross-industry projects and working in cross-functional teams. I specialize in building, debugging, and deploying resilient machine learning and deep learning models, with a strong focus on scalability, usability, and practical impact. My work has led to the release of widely used datasets and open-source tools, and I have published at top-tier venues such as NeurIPS and ICML. I have designed robust data pipelines that streamline data ingestion and preprocessing, significantly improving data accessibility and efficiency. I thrive in collaborative environments, where I communicate technical ideas clearly to diverse stakeholders and align project goals across teams. I actively mentor junior researchers and contribute to the broader research community by reviewing for high-impact journals and conferences. Above all, I am passionate about continuous learning and enjoy exploring novel ideas that push the boundaries of what's possible with machine learning.
