About

I am a machine learning expert with a focus on easy-to-deploy inference engines. With a background in building efficient intelligent systems in my doctoral research, I have created innovative solutions for a major US airline and a leading auto parts supplier. My professional journey encompasses academic pursuits, a role as an accelerometer-systems engineer in Silicon Valley, CTO of a brokerage firm, CEO of two startups, software process improvement, and industrial controls.
