WHAT DO YOU DO?

As Microsoft’s Partner of Metrics and Applied Research in the Core Search and AI unit, I lead a team utilizing advanced LLMs to tackle measurement challenges and innovate training data methods. With previous roles as Head of Product Data Science at Waymo and Head of Routing Data Science Metrics at Apple, I bring hands-on leadership, dedicating 30% of my weekly time to coding. Before diving into data science, I spent five years as a professional improv comedian in Washington DC.

Microsoft is on the forefront of using large language models for business and consumer use cases to empower every person to achieve more.
