A proven advisor to clients ranging from tech startups to Canadian & US government agencies, I am a Machine Learning Scientist, PhD with over 9 years of experience architecting solutions and translating complex AI research into actionable strategy. My work is validated by top-tier publications, intellectual property, and deployment in performance-critical applications. I specialize in AI threat modeling, accuracy guarantees and hardening for mission-critical deep learning and computer vision systems. I have served as a mentor, research ethics reviewer, and technical reviewer, having been recognized among the top 10% of technical reviewers at the field's main academic conferences.

I am currently developing computer vision methods for automatic lake-bottom analyses with autonomous underwater vehicles, and processing hydroacoustic fisheries data in the Great Lakes, collaborating bi-nationally with research scientists in the US and Canada to operationalize these methods.
