About

AI Engineer | AI/ML + Product Background | Computer Science (Magna Cum Laude) I’m an AI Engineer on the Go-To-Market team at Obsidian Security, with a Computer Science foundation, hands-on AI/ML experience, and a strong product mindset. I build and evaluate AI-powered systems with a focus on real user problems—turning ambiguity into scalable, impactful solutions. Before (and alongside) engineering, I’ve consistently operated with product ownership: conducting 50+ customer interviews, writing PRDs, defining KPIs (activation, retention, funnel), and collaborating closely with design and engineering to ship 0→1 products and AI-driven prototypes. My work spans: AI model evaluation and experimentation (MIT + SFSU) LLM workflows and applied ML in production contexts Personal finance tools powered by ML Consumer-facing iOS apps with real users Accessibility-focused projects supporting students with disabilities What I bring: Product thinking: translating fuzzy user needs into scoped features, roadmaps, and measurable outcomes AI/ML execution: Python, SQL, model evaluation, experimentation, LLM pipelines User-centered design instincts: HCI, usability testing, accessibility, UX research Strong execution: shipping quickly, iterating with data, and learning through experimentation I care deeply about user experience, inclusivity, and building AI products that scale responsibly. I thrive in collaborative, fast-moving environments where ownership, curiosity, and impact matter. If you’re building thoughtful AI-powered products that genuinely improve people’s lives, let’s connect.
