He excels at rapid, thoughtful development and building people-first teams that turn curiosity into measurable product impact. Beyond product delivery, he has applied ML to creative audio problems since his IRCAM PhD work and even shipped emotion-recognition tooling early in his career, showing a consistent thread of research-to-production execution.
