Currently located in NYC, I'm most excited about translating frontier research into experiences users love.
- At Microsoft, I shipped IntelliCode, the first AI autocomplete from 0 → 3M+ users; along the way, shipping the grey-text / inline diff UX now used by Cursor and Antigravity.
- I later worked on GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio - leading Edits Mode, Agent Mode, and planning features and along the way, solving LLM code-mapping and building framework specific evals.
- Now I'm a Senior PM at Sema4.ai, building a finance agent platform adopted by Koch Industries and Fortune 500 companies.
- AI Agents for finance where code interpreters, documents, and files are first-class primitives.
- Skill-level RL — Improve agent skills (classifiers, extractors, tool use) and their selection based on production outcomes.
- Evaluation frameworks for consistency (pass^k), not just accuracy (pass@k) — getting us toward deterministic execution.
- Towards More Effective AI-Assisted Programming — ICSE-SEIP 2023 (Senior author, 38 citations, 2023)
- 2 patents on AI-assisted coding (20 citations)
- Analyzing climate change discussions on Reddit - IEEE-CSCI (17 citations, 2022)
- ACM Certified Peer Reviewer
