A Smartsheet expert with over a decade of experience, I help Avantage clients characterize, assess and adapt business processes that reduce friction and produce impactful data. A passionate researcher, I thoroughly enjoy helping clients understand AI/ML capabilities, their challenges, and how implementing AI/ML solutions can drive business value.
During my career, I have helped codify and implement processes for projects with budgets exceeding $50 Million. My physiological sensing, wearable computing and geotechnical engineering research has been published in numerous academic journals. A career highlight was collaborating with Microsoft and PATH for Global Health to produce a RDT (Rapid Diagnostic Test) reading application designed to reduce test interpretation error rates and improve testing process adherence.
In addition to my work in AI and Smartsheet, I regularly mentor students interested in pursuing research as a career. I find teaching and mentoring to be incredibly rewarding and am passionate about guiding the next generation of technology researchers.
In my free time, I love getting outside and exploring the mountains as much as I can.
