I am a Machine learning engineer with passion in actualizing the value of AI and proven experience in building scalable ML systems.
I am currently a Machine Learning Engineer at Snap working on Search. I live in New York . I was previously a MLE at Affirm in San Francisco, a MLE at Nextdoor in San Francisco and a MLE at Dessa, an AI startup (acquired by Square), in Toronto.
I am an avid reader. My favourite books include The Brothers Karamazov, The Count of Monte Cristo, East of Eden, Flowers for Algernon, Lolita and One Hundred Years of Solitude.
I enjoy dancing salsa and bachata.
I have a B.Sc from the University of Toronto in Math & Physics.
I am a lifelong student.
Extracted, cleaned and pre-processed over 13 million records from remote SQL database. Trained XGboost valuation model on AWS EC2.
A guide on how to set up Spark with Jupyter on AWS EC2 instances with S3 I/O support. Presented at Toronto Apache Spark #19.
A solution for determining the most optimal placement of location-based information maps throughout Toronto.
I use python multiprocessing to preprocess Lung CT Images efficiently on all available CPU cores on AWS compute instances.
An exploration of satellite images using AWS S3 and boto3 for the kaggle DSTL Satellite Imagery Feature Detection challenge.
