I coach AI and applied machine learning with a focus on building reliable, interpretable models from real-world data. I’m a researcher at the University of Cambridge working on traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s, integrating multimodal MRI and blood biomarkers with modern ML methods. I can help you structure your problem, design strong baselines and evaluations, avoid common pitfalls (like leakage), and add interpretability and uncertainty so results hold up in practice.

I’ve spent a career in data science, ML, and AI. I've built state-of-the-art AI systems in real-world settings—from agent models for a boutique investing firm to the first AI mental health coach with functioning long-term memory. Alongside this work, I’ve taught and facilitated AI courses at Stanford, helping students master machine learning and generative models. My focus is on turning advanced research into practical, working products—and coaching others to do the same.

With a robust background in Top-Tier Consulting & Scale Up companies, I bring a unique perspective to Data Science. As a former Machine Learning Engineer at BCGX, I developed AI solutions for industry-leading clients, enhancing their digital transformation efforts. My experience spans strategic pricing, revenue management, and supply chain optimization, equipping me with the skills to help you navigate the industry.

Welcome to my profile! With a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and extensive postdoctoral research experience at the University of Pennsylvania, I bring a robust background in data analysis and scientific research to my coaching.
