Over the past 10 years, I’ve built a career at the intersection of data science, AI engineering, and product innovation, turning ambitious ideas into production systems that create real business value.At Toast, I lead AI initiatives that are transforming how restaurants operate—helping owners make data-driven decisions with confidence. My work blends strategic vision with hands-on execution, spanning Generative AI, transformer models, and scalable MLOps architectures that power intelligent, production-ready solutions.One of my most impactful contributions has been Toast Restaurant Embeddings, a foundational AI system that reimagines restaurant categorization and powers key products such as benchmarking, similarity search, and performance insights. Projects like these reflect my passion for building AI ecosystems that scale—technically, operationally, and commercially.I thrive on bridging research and real-world application—partnering across teams to build AI-first products that are innovative, explainable, and impactful. My goal is to keep advancing the frontier of applied AI, shaping products that don’t just predict outcomes but help people make better decisions every day.
