I’m Andrew, I like doing fun stuff with computers like programming, machine learning, optimization, and deep learning.
The last time I updated this about page (June 2023), I was working at Meta as an ML Engineer on Computer Vision and Content Understanding problems. Previously I was at Uber as an Applied Scientist working on UberX matching, and before that I was a Data Scientist at Stitch Fix on E-comm Recommender Systems, and Operations Research. I also interned for a year in 2006-2007 at a semiconductor company, Gennum Corp., working on Video Algorithms for the (at the time) brand new “HDTV” technology that was taking the world by storm.
Somewhere in the mix there I did my Master’s and PhD, at two separate institutions just to extend the pain, working on surgical simulators and fluid simulations for swallowing.
My PhD advisor and notable Computer Scientist, Sid Fels, used to tell me, “if the field has science in the name, it’s probably not a real science,” inspiring the name of this site.
