Emma and me.

Inverness, CA.

CV

I'm an AI/ML engineer 👷‍♂️. I enjoy building production systems that work.

I'm currently working on Moda AI, an AI company 🤖 I co-founded with a childhood friend, Zach. We raised a seed round, led by Index Ventures, in 2022. While we we're initially building a B2B, e-commerce focused visual and semantic search system, we're currently exploring a number of other opportunities.

Previously, I helped build and launch Siri's WebAnswer functionality while at Apple 🍏.

I got to Apple via acquisition; Laserlike was an AI search startup founded by a number of ex-Googlers. At Laserlike, I worked on a number of interesting projects at the intersection of search, machine learning, recommendations, and product design.

I joined Laserlike after graduating from Stanford 🌲 with a B.S. in Computer Science, focused on AI. While at Stanford, I spent two summers at Google Ventures (now GV) 🚀, working on deal sourcing and partnerships.

You can find me on LinkedIn👨‍💼 and GitHub 🐙.
