Behavioral foundation models and ML platforms

I architect the Large Behavioral Model generating 10B+ daily predictions across 1.8B+ devices for Fortune 500 marketing decisions. Previously led Adobe GenStudio's guideline-aware AI systems; 9 granted patents (15+ filed) in behavioral ML and GenAI.

About Me

I architect ZeroToOne's Large Behavioral Model, the platform unifying physical and digital behavioral traces across 1.8B+ devices, generating 10B+ predictions daily for Fortune 500 marketing intelligence.

At Adobe, I led GenStudio's guideline-aware AI systems. Delivered semantic knowledge graph grounding that enabled Adobe's first fully AI-generated marketing campaign and 60% content velocity improvement.

Carnegie Mellon PhD in privacy-preserving behavioral modeling. Published in ISR, DMKD, KDD, Management Science with 300+ citations. Research deployed in ZeroToOne's production systems.
