I am a Senior Engineering Manager and Project Coordinator at UC Berkeley in the Mobile Sensing Lab led by Professor Alexandre Bayen, where I oversee large-scale connected vehicle and traffic automation research, including the CIRCLES and Cooperative Congestion Management (CCM) projects. I also serve as CEO and Founder of FlowMo Technologies, a UC Berkeley spinout developing a realtime traffic data platform for vehicle speed harmonization.
Prior to UC Berkeley, I was a Senior Data Scientist and Acting Program Manager at Uber, working on problems across marketplace security, city-planning, fintel, and sales. I completed my postdoctoral appointment at Sandia National Laboratories and immersive data science training at Zipfian Academy (now Galvanize, Inc.).
My work spans autonomous driving, connected vehicles, traffic flow control, and AI-driven transportation systems, grounded in a strong foundation in computational modeling, machine learning, and large-scale data engineering.
