About Me
I live in Austin, Texas, where I work as a Machine Learning Engineer at Apple. Before Apple, I held data science roles in at Facebook and Humu, a startup founded by Laszlo Bock of Work Rules fame. I was also a Data Science Fellow at Insight.
Prior to my industry data science work, I completed a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology/Cognitive Neuroscience at UC Davis’ Center for Mind and Brain, where I worked in the lab of Dr. Petr Janata on computational and experimental research on how the brain processes music.
Outside of work, I spend as much time as possible with my wife and two young daughters. I also enjoy creating electronic music and twisting knobs on modular synthesizers.
Find me on LinkedIn and Github, or email me.
