From the chip
to the agent.

I've worked across the whole AI stack: chips at Apple, research at the Technion, agentic products at Salesforce. I take hard problems from a first idea to something people rely on.

Now

I lead evaluation for agentic AI at Salesforce. I find out if an agent works before customers do.

I own evaluation across the entire product, and I'm pushing us to test agents against simulated users. It has already worked in one product. Before that, I led conversational analytics, live with dozens of enterprise customers.

Every layer of the stack.

The parts of AI I've worked on, from silicon to business.

  1. Silicon
    Apple
    Physical design on the silicon team, where a chip ships exactly once.
  2. Research
    Technion
    M.Sc. in computer science and a first-author CIKM 2022 paper on graph neural networks for molecules.
  3. Models
    Gloat
    Applied AI research on transformer ranking models and responsible AI.
  4. Agents
    Salesforce
    Conversational analytics, then evaluation for agentic AI.
  5. Business
    Imperial College London
    Completing an MBA, to understand how companies get built around the technology.
