AI & Machine Learning
Building ML systems that work in the real world, plus the teams that build them.
Principal ML Engineering Manager at Truveta
I lead teams building machine learning for health. Before industry, I did my PhD at Yale on individualized brain mapping. When I'm not at work, I'm lifting heavy things, knitting, babysitting a jar of something fermenting, playing the santur, or watching a movie.
Two of these are my job. The rest keep me sane.
Building ML systems that work in the real world, plus the teams that build them.
Using data and technology to improve health care. Hard problems that are worth solving.
I play the santur, a Persian hammered dulcimer: 72 strings, two small hammers, and a lot of tuning.
Picking up heavy things and putting them down. Repeat until the timer stops.
Singles and mixed doubles in local leagues. Usually the best part of the week.
Slow and patient, one stitch at a time. A lot like debugging, but with a sweater at the end.
Letting microbes do the work. Controlled chaos in a jar.
Rare houseplants and a garden outside. Some of them are more demanding than any model I have trained.
Always taking recommendations. Strong opinions available on request.
