Her strengths lie in translating applied AI into measurable business outcomes across biological, industrial, and residential energy domains, including RAG/LLM apps and vector-search pipelines. Known for building diverse, high-performing teams and staying close to the code, she brings pragmatism and product focus to technical leadership. Outside work she’s a curious maker—once prototyping real-time edge ML from her garage—and collects children’s picture books while perfecting homemade yogurt.
