About

I love supercharging talent with technology and with AI, and my goal is to help organizations reach completely new levels of performance with tools and automation. Currently, I'm an engineer leading learning technology at Elastic and also serving as an AI champion inside the business, focused on practical, useful adoption.

Based in the Bay Area, CA
