Hello and welcome!

I am a Senior AI Scientist with the Personalization and Recommendations (PRZ) team at Target. My work focuses on real-time retrieval & ranking algorithms, item-item associativity modeling, category-aware personalization, and customer behavior modeling. I research, build and deploy scalable recommendation algorithms incorporating foundation and generative AI models that adapt to user preferences, capture product- and category-specific signals, and personalize discovery experiences across diverse customer segments.

My expertise spans algorithm design, large-scale optimization, ML inference, and decision-making under uncertainty. I am particularly interested in designing scalable and computationally efficient AI/ML systems that are grounded in principled methods from machine learning, information theory, optimization, and reinforcement learning.
