Hello 👋
I'm currently an AI/ML Director focused on Generative AI at JP Morgan Chase, where I lead the development of AI-driven solutions for Global Technology use-cases (Cybersecurity and Controls, Infrastructure Platforms, SDLC, Data). My passion lies in solving applied AI problems that are deployed into production, delivering tangible value to both customers and the business. I specialize in tackling complex challenges that demand innovative thinking, with expertise spanning computer vision, natural language processing, and information retrieval.
I'm an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, a AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate, and a proud alumnus of the EdinburghNLP group.
