Lead Data Scientist & Startup Advisor | Unlock Your Data Science Potential

Are you looking to accelerate your career in Data Science, Machine Learning, or AI? As a Lead Data Scientist at a top FAANG company, I bring a unique blend of large-scale industry experience and entrepreneurial grit to help you navigate the complexities of this rapidly evolving field.

I've spent years building and deploying impactful data products at scale, leading teams through the entire machine learning lifecycle – from initial research and development to production deployment and ongoing monitoring. My experience extends beyond just modeling; I have a strong engineering background and a deep understanding of building robust, scalable data pipelines.

Before joining Meta, I was actively involved in the startup world, contributing toa seed-stage AI startup focused on music and building the data science function from the ground up at a rapidly growing startup. This experience gives me a valuable perspective on the challenges and opportunities of both established tech giants and nimble startups. I’m passionate about R&D and staying on the cutting edge of the field, constantly exploring new techniques and technologies.
