Salehi

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.

Things I care about

Two of these are my job. The rest keep me sane.

🧠
Work

AI & Machine Learning

Building ML systems that work in the real world, plus the teams that build them.

🩺
Work

Health Tech

Using data and technology to improve health care. Hard problems that are worth solving.

🎵
Life

Music

I play the santur, a Persian hammered dulcimer: 72 strings, two small hammers, and a lot of tuning.

🏋️
Life

CrossFit

Picking up heavy things and putting them down. Repeat until the timer stops.

🎾
Life

Tennis

Singles and mixed doubles in local leagues. Usually the best part of the week.

🧶
Life

Knitting

Slow and patient, one stitch at a time. A lot like debugging, but with a sweater at the end.

🫙
Life

Fermentation

Letting microbes do the work. Controlled chaos in a jar.

🪴
Life

Plants

Rare houseplants and a garden outside. Some of them are more demanding than any model I have trained.

🎬
Life

Movies

Always taking recommendations. Strong opinions available on request.
