About
I build systems where the output isn't a dashboard. It's a decision worth millions.At DC Government, my causal inference frameworks and multi-scenario forecasting models directly shaped labor contract negotiations, fiscal policy, and compensation strategy for 1,800+ employees, quantifying and reducing projected fiscal exposure by $9M. That's not analytics. That's infrastructure that changes what governments do.At Booz Allen Hamilton, I led ML and data engineering initiatives across federal and commercial clients: ETL pipelines delivering 10x productivity gains, NLP-based fraud detection classifiers deployed in cloud environments, and Spark/Tableau platforms scaled to executive audiences.On the AI engineering side, I build production, not prototypes: → RAG pipelines (LLaMA 3.3 70B · ChromaDB · semantic search · LangChain) → Causal policy simulation engines with Monte Carlo uncertainty quantification → NLP classifiers achieving 90%+ F1-score on real-world classification tasksWhat separates me from most AI engineers: I move from causal econometric theory (Difference-in-Differences, Synthetic Control, Propensity Score Matching) to a deployed production system, and can brief a non-technical executive on both in the same conversation. That combination is rare. Organizations in policy, federal tech, and high-stakes commercial environments need it badly.Currently completing an MS in Data Science at UMD Smith (4.0 GPA, May 2026), focused on ML systems, NLP, and causal AI.Core stack: Python · SQL · LangChain · ChromaDB · Groq · Spark · scikit-learn · HuggingFace · Causal Inference · Econometric ModelingSenior DS, Applied AI, and AI/ML Engineering roles in federal, consulting, and high-growth tech. If you're building systems that need to be both rigorous and real, let's talk.
