ABOUT ME

I work in machine learning, primarily in the recommendations space. A lot of my
work focuses on the personalization of items from high-cardinality catalogues
over millions of users. The associated engineering challenges of scaling and
maintaining these online systems have formed the mainstay of my career over the
last several years.
