Work with a Director-level AI leader who’s built production GenAI systems, hired top talent, and knows exactly what it takes to break into and advance in data science. I have over 10 years of teaching experience, (6+ at the University level) and over 5 years of mentoring experience.

I’m a Principal AI Engineer operating at Director-level scope, with deep experience designing and deploying production AI systems and mentoring senior practitioners. I’ve owned complex ML and GenAI systems end-to-end, scaled teams, and helped strong ICs grow into Staff, Principal, and leadership roles.

My mentoring is practical and decision-focused. I’m most helpful when you’re navigating ambiguity—feeling stuck before a promotion, trying to expand your scope without formal authority, deciding whether to lean deeper into technical excellence or move toward leadership, or wrestling with high-stakes technical decisions that shape your reputation. These are the inflection points that define careers. I focus less on resume tricks and more on helping you build judgment, credibility, and long-term leverage.

I’ve also spent 6+ years as a university instructor at Cornell University, New York University, University of Wisconsin–Madison, and University at Buffalo, which means you get clear explanations, structured guidance, and mentorship tailored to your growth.

If you’re a senior data scientist, AI Engineer, ML engineer, or tech leader ready to expand your scope and accelerate your career, I’d be glad to work with you.
