About Me

I am a Senior Data Scientist at Walmart Global Tech, where I research and develop computer vision systems deployed across Walmart stores. My work has included object tracking for video anomaly detection and product recognition using both image and text cues. I particularly enjoy using frontier VLMs to generate annotations for training smaller, specialized models.

Prior to joining Walmart, I received my Ph.D. at Temple University in the Computer & Information Sciences Department, as a member of the Vision, Imaging, and Data Analysis Research Lab under the supervision of Dr. Richard Souvenir. My graduate work focused on deep learning for large-scale, fine-grained image classification and retrieval, including contributions to Traffickcam, a platform that aids in identifying hotel rooms to combat human trafficking. This spanned optimizing multi-view search, improving the interpretability of search tools, and enabling robust handling of partially-censored queries.
