I’m a Technical Solutions Engineer at ActiveFence, the leader in providing Trust & Safety solutions to protect online platforms and their users from malicious behavior and content – whether user and AI generated. I work with the Solutions, Project, and R&D teams to ensure that ActiveFence customers – who span Social Networking, Gaming, Financial, Retail, Audio, Video, Tech, and AI brands – take full advantage of our product offerings.
Before coming to ActiveFence, I was previously Customer Success Engineer at Hiya, Senior Solutions Consultant and AI Ethicist at Spectrum Labs, Director of Customer Success at Balto, Associate Professor at Northern Michigan University, and Lecturer at UCLA.
My move to industry from academia was facilitated by completing LC101 from LaunchCode. I’ve used my LC101 training and additional work in python, pandas, and numpy to solve numerous problems for clients with bespoke solutions.
Prior to my work in industry, I taught courses in Ethics (including Computer, Emerging Technology, Legal, Business, and Medical Ethics) as well as Social and Political Philosophy, and interdisciplinary courses on Emotion. For more details, see my Teaching page.
Additionally, I’ve published work on AI, technology, moral responsibility, punishment, emotion, and related issues. For more, see my Research page.
Finally, a brief educational history: I received my BA from St. Louis University, my MA from University of Cincinnati, and my PhD from The Ohio State University.
