Bio

I've grown 3 companies from 0 to millions in ARR by building viral playbooks, with 2 exits. The last one was acquired by Salesforce. As a machine learning engineer, I've built the LinkedIn ranking algorithm, been published in NeurIPS, and built the deep reinforcement learning algorithm used to fine tune the particle beam for Canada's National Particle Accelerator.
