He combines hands-on expertise in NLP, transformers and open-source LLMs with product ownership—taking AI initiatives from ideation to production while embedding Responsible AI and governance into roadmaps. At Proofpoint he led company-wide Responsible AI frameworks and cross-functional deployments, and earlier roles show a pattern of translating technical work into customer-facing outcomes and revenue improvements.
