In last two years, I have been involved with at least dozen LLM build (notably, BloombergGPT, Falcon), over 50 applications which went to production using model customization techniques such as RAG or fine-tuning, and numerous applications which adopted prompt engineering - for their Generative AI workflow.

Builder at heart, I am Global Head of Generative AI for Cerebras Systems. Prior to that I led Generative AI for Amazon SageMaker, was a founding member of Amazon Bedrock GTM at Amazon Web Services (AWS), guiding heads of state, technology and business leaders, founders, and investors globally on AI adoption.

Prior to that, I spearheaded the creation of Bloomberg's massive data and machine learning platform. This enabled hundreds of engineers and scientists to build scalable, AI-powered applications.
