About
I am a Software Engineer at Facebook, driving the development of our Service Management Platform. Before Facebook, I was the Chief Information Officer at Clinc, an Ann Arbor, MI based startup designing the next-generation conversational AI platform. I obtained my Ph.D. from Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Check out my CV and Google Scholar if you are interested.Publications
