I am the CTO at OccamzRazor, a computational drug discovery firm whose mission is to understand and cure brain-aging diseases, starting with Parkinson’s disease.

I set and execute the overall computational strategy at the company and grow and manage a world-class team of software engineers, machine learning researchers, and computational biologists. We develop and productionize best-in-class algorithms for computational drug discovery and publish regularly at NeurIPS, the leading machine learning conference in the world. I also interface frequently with potential investors and advisors, help bring them onboard, and update them regularly on computational developments. Our advisors include Randy Schekman, Nobel laureate, and our lead investor is Jeff Dean, head of Google AI.

Between 2014 and 2017, I was head of machine learning at Foursquare Labs, where I led a team of engineers and machine learning researchers to build Foursquare’s world-renowned location intelligence technology. We enabled location intelligence for tens of millions of users via Twitter, Uber, Samsung, Microsoft, and Foursquare’s own consumer apps Swarm and Foursquare City Guide.

I obtained my Ph.D. and M.A. degrees from the computer science department at Princeton University. My advisor was Robert Schapire. During my time at Princeton, I also interned at Google New York and worked on improving the search quality of Google Squared.

I received my undergraduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, where I triple majored in computer science, math, and philosophy.
