About
I am a Senior Engineer at Microsoft Research focusing on the development of secure and scalable Artificial Intelligence platforms and frameworks. Previously, I was part of the WatchFor team and brought a scalable, adaptable, low-code AI classification system to production within Xbox.
I received my PhD in Computer Science from the Johns Hopkins University (opens in new tab). I was part of the Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science. My dissertation focused on reimagining infrastructure for large-scale semi-external memory graph analysis and unsupervised clustering. My primary advisor was Randal Burns, PhD (opens in new tab). I also hold a master’s in engineering management from Hopkins (opens in new tab) (Go Blue Jays!) and a bachelor’s in electrical and computer engineering from Morgan State University (opens in new tab) (Go Bears!).
