BIO
I got my degree in EECS from the University of Michigan (GO BLUE!!), where I concentrated in machine learning + system and product design. Before founding Ecliptor, I was at Twitch as an ML engineer on the Recommendations team, and prior to that I did internships in product @ Nutanix and IoT Eng @ GE. When I'm not coding, I'm hiking, camping in my tent, and saving new recipes on Pinterest that I'll never cook.
