Hands-on support
I help data professionals turn ideas into working data products — fast, reliable, and explainable.
For over a decade, I’ve built predictive systems across finance, healthcare, adtech, and IoT manufacturing. I’ve architected pipelines for real-time anomaly detection, designed retraining strategies to scale video-ad causal models to FAANG scale data, and fine-tuned LLMs for job scoring and matching, all with measurable impact on cost, performance, and interpretability.
I’ve mentored 30+ analysts, engineers, and scientists from six continents [1], helping them ship stronger models, write cleaner code, and communicate insights that drive decisions. My approach is pragmatic and data-first: we’ll focus on understanding, clarity, and solving problems in ways that make sense to both humans and machines.
Open-source software is a common thread and passion though out my career - I would be happy to mentor anyone actively contributing back to the community, or anyone with a great idea that needs a second pair of eyes on it.
If you want to level up your data systems thinking, from prototype to production, I can help you get there.
