Scientific Adviser, HR AI startup 2026 –

The company builds AI assessment software for private equity firms. Its product predicts executive performance from structured interview data and guides interviewers toward the follow-up questions that matter. The models sit on a matrix of outcomes and evidence, from career histories through short and long interview transcripts, each with its own validation protocol, and the product is in beta with clients.

I lead all of the modeling work: measurement design, model development, validation, and research and development.

FaceX built face-recognition authentication. Its product was a hashed facial-token sign-in, deployed for ticketless entry at football stadiums and in customer projects across a range of industries. The company was revenue-generating, with a team of ten at its largest.

Co-founder, Sports Lion 2014 – 2016

Sports Lion was a peer-to-peer sports betting platform, launched on web and mobile, in which users bet against each other rather than against the house. The founding team subsequently pivoted to found FaceX.

I co-founded the company and led product, engineering, and marketing, and designed and built the web and mobile product.
