About

Hey there , I’m Giorgi. I’m a Machine Learning Scientist at SiriusXM/Pandora, where I work on music catalog curation and search. Previously, I had a couple of positions where I worked on recommender systems in e-commerce as a Machine Learning Scientist at Overstock and a Machine Learning Engineer at Route. Before that, I did a couple of internships at a cybersecurity company, Proofpoint where I worked on phishing detection solutions using machine learning. Even before that, I had a brief stint at a small startup Pulsar AI (acquired by Impel) where I led the efforts for the first ever data-driven Secret Santa.

I received a joint BS/MS from University of Utah in Computer Science. During my time there, I was lucky enough to do research at the Utah NLP lab under the guidance of Vivek Srikumar, where I worked on analyzing robustness of neural NLP models towards invalid inputs and speeding up inference of large NLP models using cascading.
