I’m a Lead Machine Learning Engineer at CenterPoint Energy, where I lead a team of 12 engineers shipping GenAI, forecasting, and optimization systems used by millions of customers. On the side, I build Cleo, an LLM voice agent that answers phones and books appointments for car dealerships.

I earned my MS and BS in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin, where my thesis explored using LLMs and retrieval-augmented generation to mitigate cognitive bias. I care about reinforcement learning, natural language processing, computer vision — and shipping ML that actually makes it to production. In case you are interested, please check out my projects.
