About

I’m a software engineer, data scientist, and founder in San Francisco where it's . I studied statistics and machine learning at UCLA and Carnegie Mellon. I’ve worked in big companies and startups. My interests span Natural Language Processing (NLP), data visualization, and new tech like blockchain and AI.

I also have a motorcycle license, a captain’s license, a driver’s license, and an unlocking license to fly my drone, not that they’re especially relevant to my work, but they probably tell you something about me.

These days, I'm focused on building startups. One of them is Sophare AI, the best compliance platform for global pay equity reporting and the EU Pay Transparency Directive.
