About

Product-ionizing SoTa research has been a theme of my career. I have 10+ years experience in ML/NLP doing research and development at top organizations like Apple Carnegie Mellon University, Qatar Computing Research Institute and University of Stuttgart. I have also founded 2 companies, one in blockchain and one in AI/healthcare. I have also enjoyed building teams and a team culture that empowers teams to deliver their highest quality work. My startup experiences have taught me to skills to understand customers, do sales pitches and make win-win deals. I was fortunate enough to study from top educational institutes like CMU and IIT.
