My recent focus at Dataminr as a Director of Engineering has been to lead multiple teams building the world's leading AI platform that detects the earliest signals of high-impact events and emerging risks from publicly available information. These real time alerts enable enterprise and public sector clients around the globe to know critical information first, respond with confidence, and manage crises more effectively. Dataminr solutions are relied on 24/7 by hundreds of clients in over 100 countries to help them solve real-world problems. Our artificial intelligence platform for real-time event and risk detection uses a range of deep learning AI methods.

In my previous teams at Microsoft, I worked on building Antispam engines for Exchange and Outlook and spent several years building a real-time security analysis pipeline codenamed Vanquish to defend Microsoft services against hackers using Data Science and Machine Learning algorithms and leading a team in the fight against insider threats for the US Department of Defense. Vanquish provides fast, robust, actionable security detection and alerting for the Microsoft Office 365 substrate handling the volume associated with O365 - millions of events per second. Analytics on Vanquish include: Anomaly detection, outlier detection, supervised & unsupervised ML.
