ML Eng Manager at Robust Intelligence, leading our efforts around model monitoring and AI Firewall. Author of GPT Index.

I’m broadly interested in generative models (including LLM’s), AI for systems, systems for AI. I also follow the startup community and am interested in understanding AI products and emerging growth opportunities: MLOps, vertical LLM’s, horizontal platforms (Databricks, Scale AI, etc.), and more.

Previously, I was a Research Scientist at Uber ATG, working on advancing state-of-the-art for learning-based compression as well as joint prediction/planning. Before that I was a machine learning engineer at Quora, where I worked on the feed ranking system. I graduated summa cum laude from Princeton in ‘17 with a B.S.E in CS and certificate in finance.

I enjoy reading ML papers, reading non-ML books, eating spicy food, playing tennis, and playing games.
