At Unity, I spearheaded AI developer products; at Freedom, I architected systems for automotive giants to infuse real-time analytics and AI into their robotic fleets; and at Bonfire, I crafted a document analytics tool for banking quants. I love helping define and ensure customers get their definition of success out of complex technical products.
