## My Background

Before my sabbatical, I served as a Staff ML engineer and a tech lead for the AI Algorithms Team, later moving to lead the Direct to Consumer e-commerce initiatives at Stitchfix, where I played a key role in helping teams adopt new technologies.
Prior to my sabbatical, I was a Staff ML engineer and tech lead at Stitchfix, spearheading both the AI Algorithms Team and Direct to Consumer e-commerce initiatives, significantly aiding in technology adoption.

- Led the R&D of applying state-of-the-art (SOTA) models to business applications, including VAE-GAN, Resnets, YOLO, GPT3, and building multimodal embedding models that enhanced retrieval and recommendations quality. This initiative, from prototyping to production monitoring and model finetuning, generated an incremental revenue of $50M per year.
- Spearheaded the integration of cutting-edge models like VAE-GAN, Resnets, YOLO, GPT3 into business solutions, boosting retrieval and recommendation systems. This effort led to an annual revenue increase of $50M.

- Directed data collection and curation efforts, collaborating with domain experts to train data labelers of various proficiencies and constructed proprietary datasets for multimodal content understanding. This included new outfit models, various search functionalities, similar product recommendations, AI-powered data labeling, and ad creative generation, managing a budget of approximately $400,000 to acquire new data.
- Oversaw data collection and curation, training data labelers across skill levels and building proprietary datasets for multimodal understanding, covering outfit models, search, recommendations, AI labeling, and ad creation, with a $400,000 budget.

- Engineered a recommendation [framework](./writing/posts/recsys-frameworks.md) and observability tools capable of processing over 350 million daily requests.

- Created a framework for technology partner due diligence, focusing on incremental performance and data access improvements, guiding the adoption of impactful technologies.

Throughout my career in the tech industry, I've had the privilege of working with both established organizations such as [Stitchfix](https://www.stitchfix.com/), [Meta](https://about.fb.com/), and [NYU](https://www.nyu.edu/), as well as a variety of innovative startups including [Rewind AI](https://rewind.ai/), [Naro](https://narohq.com/), [Trunk Tools](https://trunktools.com/), [New Computer](https://newcomputer.io/), [Modal Labs](https://modal.com/), and [Weights & Biases](https://wandb.ai/).
