Summary
As a Head of AI/ML at Comparables.ai, I bring over a decade of experience leading AI-driven innovation, with deep expertise in Search and Recommendation systems, Large Language Models (LLMs), AI Agents, and Big Data. My focus is on architecting and developing scalable, cloud-native solutions that enable businesses to harness the power of LLMs for actionable insights, smarter decision-making, and transformative growth.
At Comparables.ai, my team is at the forefront of innovation in LLM-driven Search and Recommendation systems, AI Agents, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). I led the development of MIA, a production-optimized AI Market Intelligence Agent, which integrates LLMs with Comparables.ai’s 360-million company dataset and proprietary ML models. While initially built for M&A advisors and finance professional, the underlying architecture and design principles apply broadly to other domains where intelligent data-driven decision-making is critical such as health-care, e-commerce, banking and retail.
With a scientific mindset, I approach solution development through experimentation and rigor, focusing on key performance indicators such as quality and operational efficiency. This enables me to build AI-driven products that are not only innovative but also aligned with business objectives and user needs.
My work bridges the gap between technical depth and strategic impact, helping organizations harness the power of AI Agents to transform operations, improve decision-making, and deliver sustained value at scale.
