About
A former NASA Scientist turned entrepreneur, I've led teams to create award-winning AI and data-driven products including: Mars Rover’s visual odometry at NASA Ames, Virtual Collaborative Clinic (VCC), cloud based Natural Language Processing (NLP) products and multilingual language app. My educational journey includes UC Berkeley (BSc, MSc), Stanford (MSc), CMU and U. of British Columbia (PhD Comp Sci), and an MBA from University of Cambridge (UK). 💖 I am told that I am creative and a good problem solver; I think I am quite cerebral!
