Machine Learning Engineer

I am a machine learning engineer at Meta, where I've worked across 2D/3D image processing for mapping at Reality Labs and large-scale Reels recommendation. What I find most meaningful is working at the seam of technical depth and product impact — building alignment across teams, shaping strategy, and bringing a systems-level understanding to hard problems in recommendation at scale.

Along the way, I explored biomedical image processing during my PhD at Northeastern University, robotic perception with 3D sensors at MERL, and computer vision for interior design at Wayfair — each step deepening my conviction that good research finds its way into the world.
