Overview

I have vast experience leveraging quantitative methods to understand and predict operational processes that involve complex human-technology interactions (AI and UX) to improve system-level efficiency and minimize the risk associated with errors in either AI or human performance.

Throughout my career in industry, I led high-profile projects that resulted in several deployed models, in addition to performing research at academic institutions such as Harvard, MIT, Caltech and the University of Minnesota.

I have experience operating as an individual contributor, in addition to leading technical teams either through formal scrums or informal meetings.

Research Topics

Algorithms

I developed algorithms across several domains to improve operational efficiency

Targeted Metrics

I enjoy producing metrics that quantify human performance in real-world settings

Human Modeling

I have a keen interest in predicting human performance under uncertainty and risk

Risk Quantification

I have vast experience quantifying risk across several mission critical environments
