About
tl;dr
I'm Alex, a Seattle native and University of Chicago alumnus. I'm a Principal Machine Learning Engineer at The Walt Disney Company, where I focus on artificial intelligence, generative AI, and production machine learning systems.
My work spans designing and deploying explainable AI models and scalable data systems — bridging cutting-edge research with practical implementation to drive real business outcomes. I specialize in inference systems, embeddings, and computer vision at scale.
Available for fractional ML engagements. Get in touch.

Interests
Outside of work I spend time sailing, reading, writing, and traveling. I have broad intellectual curiosity spanning mathematics, philosophy, and the foundations of machine learning.
On the technical side I'm drawn to problems in inference optimization, embedding systems, and the architecture of production ML — and I write about these topics on my blog.
