Hello!

I am currently a senior applied scientist in Amazon. Previous, I worked as a senior data scientist at Lyft focusing on applications of NLU and machine learning in community and road safety, support as well as applications of deep learning in spatio-temporal supply and demand forecasting. Before Lyft, I was the co-founder and chief data scientist in Aida, a machine learning startup, where I helped with research and development of AI solutions for natural language understanding in customer support/intelligent segment. Our company was acquired by Vision Critical in late 2017.

I hold a PhD degree in computational physics from UBC where I worked on large scale distributed computing and numerical algorithms for gravitational physics research [+]. My main interest in machine learning is natural language "understanding" and its applications in semantic web. In my free time, I do landscape photography, and traveling.

Please feel free to contact me, if you think we might have something interesting to chat about! I love intellectual conversations, anything nerdy, bad puns and good beer!
