Cofounder & CTO, Alchedata AI · 20+ Years in AI/ML
Executive-level AI/ML leader specializing in foundation model post-training, evaluation, and production-scale personalization — from Big Tech to startups, research labs to FDA-cleared medical devices.
I'm an executive-level AI/ML leader with a proven track record of leading teams of 40+ — including mentoring managers — building scalable ML infrastructure, and shipping high-impact AI systems in demanding production environments.
My hands-on expertise spans foundation model post-training (SFT, RLHF, RLSF), agentic RL environments, continuous evaluation and regression prevention, and cost/latency optimization for model serving.
I've built and led organizations at Amazon, IBM Research, Visa, Zepp Health, and AliveCor — and I'm now driving the future of agentic AI data pipelines as Cofounder and CTO of Alchedata AI.
