At Wharton, owning AI from concept to production

Current  ·  Self

At Wharton, I've owned AI products from concept through production: a custom course chatbot built on a vector DB of class transcripts, a private elections platform scaled through two successful releases, a school-wide attendance system that shipped a feature the vendor now carries in their production app.

I sit with engineers, InfoSec, faculty, and executives — and I speak all of those languages well enough to actually move things forward.

I'm second author on a published paper about the Lecture Recall project. I co-chair the AI Special Interest Group and the AI Community of Practice at UPenn. I've given talks on GenAI to audiences from MBA students to IT staff conventions to DataPhilly. I am not a spectator in this moment — I am actively building in it.
