Staff Applied Machine Learning Scientist @ Workiva
AI Researcher | Tech Leader | Career Coach
I specialize in turning cutting-edge AI research into scalable, real-world solutions.
With over 15 years of experience, I am an AI Engineer and Technology Leader backed by a proven track record of two successful company exits (acquired by Deloitte and Jive).
Currently, I am a Staff Applied Machine Learning Scientist at Workiva, where I focus on LLMs and Generative AI. Previously, I was the first researcher at Articul8 AI, where I led the development of scalable model evaluation suites (resulting in a patent application) and optimized domain-specific models.
My passion lies in bridging the gap between complex research and high-impact product delivery.
