Before Apple, I worked on Text Generation, Question Answering, Search Relevance, and Search Quality at Microsoft AI Research. I hold a specialization in NLP and Machine Learning from Carnegie Mellon University, and earlier in my career worked on Query Understanding and Search Relevance at LinkedIn.
