“Built an "AskMyVideo" system that turns YouTube videos into queryable knowledge graphs by transcribing audio (Whisper), chunking and embedding content, and enabling traceable answers back to exact timestamps. Strong in entity resolution (rules + fuzzy matching + TF-IDF/cosine with PR-curve thresholding) and modern retrieval stacks (FAISS, hybrid dense/sparse, domain fine-tuning with ~12% precision gain), with a production mindset using Airflow/Prefect, Docker/FastAPI, and LangSmith/Prometheus/Grafana observability.”

“Operations/finance leader who joined Google during a rapid growth phase (circa 2007–2008) and built foundational analytics and governance systems across revenue, partnerships, and global marketing finance. Known for shifting organizations from qualitative/"feel" decisions to metrics-driven quota setting, deal evaluation (including cannibalization and margin thresholds), and ROI-based marketing budgeting while aligning senior stakeholders like CFO and CMO.”

“C-level operator and advisor who has led operational transformations at growing companies from ~$100M revenue to multi-billion scale. Focuses on working backwards from a north star to build KPI/decision-owner mechanisms, P&L-linked accountability, and agile org structures—citing outcomes like +500 bps market share gains, millions saved in people costs, and EBITDA acceleration for a PE exit.”
