About

I'm working on bringing responsible adoption of AI into our daily lives as CTO of GPTZero, the world's leading platform for detecting AI-generated text. GPTZero was acquired by Superhuman, where I'm a Director of Engineering. We’re hiring! I'm a builder and researcher with a passion for deploying machine learning to solve impactful real-world issues. I dropped out of my PhD to co-found GPTZero. Previously, I worked on ML to make safer self-driving cars at Waabi and Uber, and better recommendations at Facebook. I'm the co-author of 7 patents and the first author on 2 highlighted papers at top ML conferences. Before that, I created OpenMind to combat online misinformation and presented our work to national press, Facebook, and Congress. I also have a love for building and science: I won Best ML hack twice (2019, 2021) at Treehacks, Stanford’s flagship hackathon. I also won a silver medal for Team Canada at the International Chemistry Olympiad and got 1st place in Canada at the National Biology Competition.
