Hi, I’m TJ, welcome!! This site covers machine learning, teaching at scale, and product minded research. I am a Lecturer with Georgia Tech Professional Education and the College of Lifetime Learning, where I develop and teach applied, high-impact courses in the FlexStack program. My teaching spans artificial intelligence, data analytics, cybersecurity, and other emerging technologies shaped by workforce and industry demand.
In parallel, I serve as Instructor of Record for Georgia Tech’s graduate Machine Learning course, CS7641. Each term, I lead more than 1,200 students supported by a staff of over 30 graduate teaching assistants and industry professionals. I oversee curriculum design, pedagogical strategy, and large-scale operations across three semesters each year.
My background spans engineering, business, and research. I hold a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering and an MBA from Georgia Tech. I have published work in neuroimaging and optimization, and I co-founded a medical imaging startup that holds a patent and has secured millions of dollars in funding.
