Known for turning user feedback into actionable roadmaps, he also has a track record of improving operational support (95% ticket resolution within 24 hours) and securing platforms to reduce misuse by 40%. Based in New York, he is open to freelance and innovative roles where he can fuse research-driven ML techniques with production-grade systems.
