19+ years leading AI, ML, and cloud at scale — from Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Lex to Point72's global AI function. I build the systems, grow the teams, and help the next generation of leaders find their edge.
"I've spent nearly two decades at the frontier of AI — building the systems that power it, and the teams that make it possible."
My career spans the full arc of the AI revolution — from building NLU and ASR systems from scratch for Amazon Lex, to architecting enterprise Generative AI platforms at Amazon Bedrock, to now leading Point72's global AI/ML function across research, engineering, and platform.
I hold 20+ patents across AI and ML, have conducted over 750 interviews, and have grown teams from 7 to over 100 people. I understand what it takes to ship AI that works at production scale — and what it takes to build the organizations that sustain it.
I'm also a committed mentor and coach to the next generation of engineering leaders. Having made every leadership transition myself, I help others navigate them with clarity and confidence.
Building enterprise GenAI platforms at scale — RAG pipelines, Agentic AI, multimodal systems, prompt optimization, model evaluation, and guardrails. Hands-on experience at the frontier from Amazon Bedrock.
Built Amazon Lex's NLU and ASR systems from the ground up — launched globally across 10+ regions and 25+ locales, driving 100% yearly revenue growth for 3 consecutive years.
Scaling organizations from 7 to 120+ engineers, setting multi-year technical strategy, and building the hiring bars, processes, and cultures where great engineers do their best work.
20+ patent applications across AI, ML, NLU, and cloud — representing two decades of inventions at the intersection of research and production engineering.
I've hired, grown, and promoted hundreds of engineers across Amazon, Groupon, and Point72. Now I work one-on-one with people who want to accelerate the path — whether that's making the leap from IC to manager, or growing into an executive role.
My approach is direct, practical, and grounded in real experience. No frameworks for the sake of frameworks — just honest conversations about what it actually takes.
The first management role is the hardest transition in engineering. I help you navigate it with clarity — on identity, influence, and what great leadership looks like in practice.
Strategic thinking, stakeholder influence, and leading at org scale. For senior managers ready to step into executive conversations.
Where the field is heading, which bets to make, and how to position yourself for what's next in Generative AI and ML engineering.
Having conducted 750+ interviews at Amazon and beyond, I know exactly what strong candidates do differently. Targeted coaching for FAANG and senior+ roles.
