AI Engineering Leadership at Meta
๐Ÿ’ผ Work

Right now I'm building multimodal AI systems at Meta โ€” teaching LLMs to see, hear, and understand the world beyond just text.

Before this, I spent 7 years making self-driving cars actually see the road. Built perception systems that fused camera and lidar data, detected objects in real-time, and tracked everything moving around the vehicle. Scaled ML training pipelines and eval frameworks that helped autonomous vehicles navigate cities.

Started my career at Juniper Networks building software for enterprise network switches โ€” back when I thought routers were the future (they weren't, AI was).
