My journey has been driven by a simple belief: technology should meaningfully enhance the human experience.
I transform complex problems into elegant solutions, combining data science expertise with a passion for creating products that make a difference.
My Path
Born and raised in Queens, NY, I’m grateful to have grown up immersed in the culture of New York City. I enjoy bringing an open mind and curious perspective to every new career opportunity I face.
My career bridges multiple disciplines—beginning with formal education in electrical engineering and computer sciences (NYIT - B.S., Carnegie Mellon University - M.S.), evolving through software consulting, and culminating in executive roles as a product and data science leader.
What unites these experiences is my approach: identify the core problem, develop innovative solutions, and build systems that deliver measurable results. I specialize in translating between technical and business stakeholders, making complex data accessible and actionable for everyone at the table.
What Drives Me
I believe technological advancements should solve real problems for real people. We as technologists should connect people with what matters—whether that's finding the right job, accessing essential services, or making better decisions through data.
We’ve been fortunate to experience some of history’s greatest scientific advancements, and it’s our duty to do more than just soak up users’ attention spans.

How we measure success is entirely tied to an individual's goals. So while going to the gym 7 days a week may perceived as a positive habit, you have to ask yourself what is your goal? Improved physical health - then you're providing the right input. But if I wanted to strengthen my interpersonal relationships, I'm not sure going to the gym will have any effect on that goal. So, you can't find success without being diligent about defining your expected outcomes up front.

"Toffee: enabling ad hoc, around-device interaction with acoustic time-of-arrival correlation", 2014
The simple fact that human fingers are large and mobile devices are small has led to the perennial issue of limited surface area for touch-based interactive tasks. In response, we have developed Toffee, a sensing approach that extends touch interaction beyond the small confines of a mobile device and onto ad hoc adjacent surfaces, most notably tabletops. This is achieved using a novel application of acoustic time differences of arrival (TDOA) correlation. Previous time-of-arrival based systems have required semi-permanent instrumentation of the surface and were too large for use in mobile devices. Our approach requires only a hard tabletop and gravity -- the latter acoustically couples mobile devices to surfaces. We conducted an evaluation, which shows that Toffee can accurately resolve the bearings of touch events (mean error of 4.3° with a laptop prototype). This enables radial interactions in an area many times larger than a mobile device; for example, virtual buttons that lie above, below and to the left and right.
