In 2020 I finished my master thesis in Artificial Intelligence, "Data Efficient Deep Learning Models for Text Classification", where I compared multiple state of the art models, including language models.
In 2022 I exited MonkeyLearn to Medallia and joined as Sr Director leading AI research and development.
I'm an active investor, I invest in public markets but also in private companies, particularly tech startups and software product companies. I'm also LP in two venture capital funds, Uncork Capital and Garuda Ventures.
