About
I run applied science at GitHub, the org behind GitHub Copilot. My team works at the intersection of deep applied research and product engineering for 150+ million developers.
Before GitHub, I grew AI teams and built and deployed ML at Allianz and Google. Before that, I was in academic research at INRIA in France and HIIT & Aalto University in Finland, working on foundational machine learning problems.
I believe the best work happens when you solve genuinely hard problems alongside people who care about getting it right.
