About TG

I build AI systems. I write about the systems around them.

ML manager at Adobe, working on AI in Acrobat. Stanford EE/CS, with NLP research published at EMNLP 2021.

Eight years building AI, first in the lab, now in products at scale.

The work

I lead machine-learning work at Adobe. That has included suggested prompts for Acrobat AI Assistant, a prompt-engineering framework, MLOps monitoring, and an online training SDK.

The research

At Stanford, I studied electrical engineering and computer science, taught CS106A, and worked on natural-language processing and multi-hop question answering.

The writing

I write practical field notes about execution, perception, and power inside large organizations—especially the parts nobody puts in onboarding.

Outside work

East Bay roots and permanent sporting loyalties to the Warriors, Manchester United, and the Golden State Valkyries.

The path

East Bay to Montgomery to Stanford.

I grew up in the East Bay, then moved to Montgomery, Alabama, for high school at LAMP High School.

I returned to California for Stanford, where I earned a BS in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Spanish and an MS in Computer Science focused on AI.

Along the way, I served two terms as a student government Senator, taught CS106A, and worked on NLP research in multi-hop question answering.
