// about
I work across the whole path from research to production: screening models and strategies, training and evaluating them, and shipping them into real pipelines. In the last three years that has meant an adaptive citation router at Adobe, open-set product identification at CMU CyLab, document automation at Tetrix, and a co-authored paper at MLHC 2024 from NYU Langone Health.
