Previously, I was a Generative AI Architect at AWS, and a product manager at Alexa, where I led the Alexa Developer Experience, VUIs, and in-car Alexa experiences. Prior to that, I was a full stack engineer at multiple AI startups.

Prior to tech, I spent 7 years as a quantitative derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, where I was the Head of VIX Index Trading. I hold a BS in Computer Science from Stanford University.
