I'm currently an engineer at Meta, building AI & ML products for advertisers. Previously, I was the Director of Machine Learning at Twilio, where I led the AI organisation. Before that, I was CEO & founder of Vai Technologies, which was acquired by Twilio.
I am an angel investor, and am particularly drawn to early-stage startups that have one (or more) of the following traits: AI-focused, API-focused (including all flavours of developer-first GTM motions), or B2B-centric. Whether or not I am an investor, I enjoy helping founders where I can.
For many years, I was in academia working at the intersection of Deep Learning and High Energy Particle Physics. I held appointments at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), SLAC, and CERN. A list of my publications can be found on my Google Scholar.
I earned a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from Yale University and an M.S. in Computational Mathematics from Stanford University.

More generically, we extract insights from data that you've collected. Even if you don't have a specific goal in mind, we can help you find insights you never knew were there.
