In 2023, I have been focused on minimizing supply chain risks to save up to 15% in costs for oil and gas companies through AI platforms. I am currently developing an AI CRM tool to improve data quality by incentivizing suppliers, saving millions of hours employees spend on cleaning procurement data. Previously, I’ve consulted for corporations like Shell, Walmart, and Amazon, developed research projects with cancer immunologists, and wrote a niche review paper at the intersection of optogenetics and CRISPR-Cas9. As a Masason member, I aim to create scalable AI platforms to enhance employee productivity and explore how LLMs can improve biological research reproducibility. I also want to share my insights through content that makes LLMs and related technologies more accessible to beginners.
