About me

I’m a Senior Technical Program Manager at Twitch, where I work on Safety ML, the systems that detect and respond to harm on a livestreaming platform.

Before TPM life, I was a front-end dev (Anthropologie/URBN) and that means I can speak both technical and non-technical since I’ve lived on both sides of that wall. I hold a Certificate in Predictive Analytics from UCI and have been a hands-on AI practitioner before “AI” was something you put in your job title.

I’m also conflicted about AI and its impact... and that’s a post in and of itself. I build things with AI in my spare time (ifeelseen.ai being one of them), and I write here to help others think practically about what this technology actually means for how we work and live.

If you want takes on AI from someone who builds things and isn’t trying to sell you a course, this is the blog for you. I write about AI in practice, TPM work, and the gap between what AI promises and what it actually does. An example of my writing is below.
