Psychology & Computer Science · AI/ML · Human Factors
I excel at analyzing complex problems between people and technology, and creating solutions with genuine impact. With a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology & Computer Science and experience spanning Machine Learning, Computer Engineering, and Human Factors Engineering, I bring an unique perspective to AI development. At Johnson Controls, I led a team that developed and deployed a novel NLP system for evaluating machine translation quality, placing in the top 10% of ~1,000 teams in a global internal competition. I will continue to develop my skills in the AI/ML space, and hope to do so at a place where the challenges are unique, and creativity is rewarded.
