Key Achievements
Technical Founder
I'm currently building Bagels AI to address the $154B challenge of workplace disconnection. The autonomous AI agents foster genuine connections in large organizations.
Product Innovation
I love bringing ideas to life, sometimes a bit too quickly (ask me about my 14-day product launches for RantBox.app and CramCram.io). My work on the Gnathic app, which provides clinical insights from images, honed my expertise in safety, privacy, and the importance of compliance.
Startup Experience
At 20, I rapidly progressed from a sophomore intern to Director of Technology at an established DentalTech company. I owned the entire technical landscape to ship Gnathic and Pacified, two flagship products that now support over 1,400 users.
Publications & Presentations
It was an honor to have my ML research accepted and presented at the World Sleep Conference, and later considered for Harvard's Global AI Dental Symposium. I also co-authored a peer-reviewed publication with renowned orthodontists and pediatric dentists, applying data science to determine optimal pacifier sizing.
Engineering at Scale
In Wayfair's Search & Recommendations organization, I led high-impact backend epics in the Big Data, ML and SEO domains, delivering robust solutions that scaled to millions of customers. I'm particularly proud of shipping a no-code ML tool that accelerated model deployment.
Leadership & Research
Beyond my core projects, I've actively sought out leadership roles. I've managed teams at BUILD UMass, led outreach as Technology Chair for CICS COST, and contributed to open-source projects like HackUMass. As a Research Assistant in the Data Systems Lab, I conducted an independent study on 'NextDoor' to improve graph sampling with deep learning and GPUs.
