Bio

Co-founder of Alara. I was previously at DoorDash, Google, and Meta, where I led engineering on large-scale AI systems and consumer products used by millions. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford and a B.S. from Columbia, specializing in AI and intelligent systems. As a researcher at Stanford’s Trustworthy AI Lab, I’ve published first-author work at ICML and NeurIPS on large language model data curation and alignment.
