As a founder and research scientist, I have spent the last decade bridging the gap between frontier research and commercial reality. Since co-founding RIOS Intelligent Machines in 2018, I’ve built and led distributed organizations to deliver AI-powered systems across industries.
My current focus is combining multimodal AI with compounding feedback loops and continual learning. Agents that leverage tools, meta-reasoning, verifiers, evaluation-driven iteration, harnesses and human-AI collaboration that make frontier capabilities usable by real organizations.
