Professional
I spend my days building systems that make marketplaces smarter. Currently, I'm working on AI agents that simulate how buyers and sellers interact, trying to predict ripple effects before they happen. It's the kind of problem that sits at the intersection of economics, machine learning, and a bit of controlled chaos.

Experience
Member of Technical Staff, Applied Science
Thumbtack
I'm building agentic micro-simulations of a two-sided marketplace to coordinate marketing and supply-shaping at local granularities—lifting company revenue ~2%—and designing Thumbtack 2.0, an agentic orchestration MCP layer that reimagines how customer and pro agents discover, negotiate, and transact. My patent-pending image generation and multimodal context-detection pipelines now power 100% of search ad creative.
Machine Learning Engineer I, II (Technical Lead)
Equinix
I led a team of four building full-stack computer vision across 200+ data centers using CCTV and robots—projected to cut $10M in security and operations costs—and designed a fine-tuned RAG LLM that became the conversational interface for the global data center network, now used by 100k+ stakeholders worldwide.
Co-Founder
LaunchPad AI
We're building a way for small businesses to describe what they need and have LLMs design, build, and deploy the infrastructure automatically—turning conversations into working applications.
Data Science Intern
Visa
I built pipelines that parsed millions of server logs daily and designed anomaly detection systems that saved the cybersecurity team over a thousand hours each week hunting for threats.
