About Me

I am a Machine Learning scientist working at Amazon AWS AI/ML. My work focusses on Large Scale Machine Learning, Optimization, Distributed Learning, and their applications to applied areas such as NLP, IR and Ranking/Recommender Systems. I currently work on research and development of distributed training techniques for scaling massive scale transformer models.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from University of California, Santa Cruz. Prior to my PhD, I worked full-time in the personalization org at Yahoo! on ML, NLP for Entity Matching, Entity Detection and Knowledge Graphs. I got my Masters from Georgia Tech where also worked as a research assistant in the Sonification Lab.
