I'm an experienced machine learning scientist, with a focus on applied machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). Currently, I'm a Manager of Technical Staff at Cohere AI. I'm also an Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto, in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering.
Previously, I was a Principal Applied Scientist at Xero and a Senior Data Scientist at Citrine Informatics. My PhD in Materials Science & Engineering was awarded from MIT, and my thesis pioneered the use of several NLP and generative AI methods for advanced materials discovery.
My hobbies include cooking, martial arts, and playing video games. I also love dogs and exploring the outdoors. More recently, I've picked up climbing as well.
Below are some topics that I like to think about, in no particular order:
