About

I am a machine learning lead with over 10 years of experience leading data science and engineering teams on a broad range of AI and ML projects. I love to talk about A.I. both on a technical level and a non-technical level for organizations like TEDx or Datacamp. I still have a strong connection to academia and work as a guest professor at Columbia University where I teach several AI related classes.
