Summary

Hands-on architect and technical leader spanning governed data platforms, production ML, probabilistic forecasting, and decision integration. I connect the engagement lifecycle—client discovery, scope, SOW, and team formation—to the technical lifecycle from architecture and algorithm strategy through durable product delivery.

Selected experience

Data Engineer — Septeo (May 2026–present)

  • Build data systems supporting software products for the French real-estate market.

Principal Data Science Consultant — Superscript (March 2026–present)

  • Serve as a technical authority for algorithm strategy and advanced predictive modeling in pre-service healthcare workflows, including CPT-code and patient cost-sharing prediction.
  • Evaluate modeling approaches and translate ambiguous product needs into testable algorithm and evaluation plans.
  • Build ML pipelines spanning claims and eligibility data, feature engineering, probabilistic inference, and evaluation.

Enterprise Data Architect & AI Consultant — ConvenientMD (March 2026–present)

Lead Data Scientist — ConvenientMD (April 2025–March 2026)

  • Led the shift from a forecasting mandate to a broader data and ML program across clinical, workforce, finance, scheduling, and external systems.
  • Built ingestion and lakehouse foundations using Airflow, Docker, Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, and Azure ML; developed the business case and helped grow the data team.
  • Delivered probabilistic demand forecasts supporting staffing decisions across 45 clinics and presented the program at Urgent Care Connect 2026.

Senior Data Scientist — ConvenientMD (August 2023–April 2025)

  • Led hybrid cloud/on-premises data-lake and warehouse development supporting reporting and advanced analytics.
  • Rebuilt data foundations through two electronic medical-record migrations and mentored data analysts.

Data Scientist — Gigaphoton / Fabscape (July 2021–August 2023)

  • Built containerized ML and data pipelines for fab laser systems; live demos and webinars with Semiconductor Digest; SPIE Advanced Lithography presentation.
  • Named inventor on pending U.S. patents covering agentic AI laser control, DL forecasting for hardware replacement, real-time digital twins, and NN control optimization.

Client & Project Manager — Statistics Without Borders (July 2026–present)

  • Lead engagements from client acquisition through delivery, including discovery, scope and SOW development, and client relationship management.
  • Recruit and coordinate volunteer project teams; align technical work, milestones, and final delivery to the client decision.

Applied research & collaborations

  • Clinical ML for COVID-19 / AKI outcomes (CritCOVIDView); medication regimen complexity and survival modeling.
  • Bayesian state-space methods for long environmental time series (PNAS co-author; first-author methods paper in Statistics and Its Interface).
  • Statistics Without Borders — Outstanding Contributor of the Year (2025); led Bayesian integration of RCTs and expert judgment with the Happier Lives Institute.
