So, what do you actually do?
🧩 Today: I lead technical success for Fortune 500 teams in autonomous systems, driving adoption of AI-powered simulation tools. I deliver strategic enablement, consult on ML and data workflows, drive complex enterprise-level execution, and shape product roadmap.
🔬 Previously: I advanced research in AI and data science at UBC, Ubisoft La Forge, and Bosch Research, with peer-reviewed work published in top-tier conferences and journals.
