⚡ Impact Snapshot

  • Shipped retrieval-augmented copilots that mediate billions of SKUs while respecting enterprise guardrails and privacy-by-design.
  • Led multi-cloud MLOps initiatives that accelerated model iteration cycles from quarterly to weekly without sacrificing compliance.
  • Mentored cross-functional squads adopting AI-first playbooks, raising experimentation velocity and measurable CX lift.

🧭 Strategic Pillars

  • Human-centered design – Shape AI experiences that respect context, governance, and responsible deployment.
  • Operational resilience – Build observable, testable pipelines with continuous evaluation loops and rollback confidence.
  • Commerce intelligence – Translate catalog, behavioral, and operational signals into adaptive merchandising and service journeys.

🔍 Inspired by the AI Vanguard

  • Fei-Fei Li – ImageNet and her human-centered AI leadership motivate my bias toward inclusive, policy-aware solutions.
  • Andrew Ng – Practical deep learning evangelism and Google Brain roots reinforce my "build useful tools, not hype" mantra.
  • Geoffrey Hinton – Nobel-recognized neural network breakthroughs remind me to pair bold research with ethical stewardship.
  • Yoshua Bengio – Deep learning trailblazing and global AI safety advocacy guide my experimentation frameworks.
  • Demis Hassabis – DeepMind's science-driven approach informs my balance between frontier research and applied value.

🧠 AI & Machine Learning Highlights

  • Architecting data pipelines that carry clean, observable signals from ingestion through model training, evaluation, and deployment.
  • Building retrieval-augmented copilots that unlock catalogues, documentation, and analytics through natural language interactions.
  • Embedding responsible AI guardrails—from dataset governance to human-in-the-loop feedback—so automation stays trustworthy.
  • Coaching cross-functional teams on prompt engineering, embeddings, and MLOps, enabling them to deliver AI features with confidence.

🔄 Commerce Roots, AI Future

  • Modernising Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, and Shopify implementations with AI-assisted merchandising, search, and support journeys.
  • Unifying Akeneo, ERP, and customer signals into knowledge graphs that drive richer storytelling and targeted automation.
  • Bringing AI observability and experimentation practices into delivery pipelines so every release is measurable and reliable.

🧪 Explorations & Emerging Tech

  • Investigating how retrieval, orchestration, and evaluation stacks combine to support multi-modal customer experiences.
  • Mapping vector databases and agent frameworks to the realities of compliance-heavy environments.
  • Studying agentic workflows that can automate QA and operational runbooks without losing human oversight.

📚 Signature Pieces

  • AI Fieldnotes – Real-world playbooks for RAG, safety, and evaluation drawn from enterprise pilots.
  • Commerce Copilot Accelerator – Blueprint for merchandising and CX teams to adopt retrieval-augmented generation in under 90 days.
  • Responsible AI Runbook – Governance framework aligning model lifecycle checkpoints with legal, compliance, and CX stakeholders.
