i build AI that does the boring stuff.

applied AI/ML scientist turned technology consultant. data science @ chapman. currently helping teams hand their repetitive work to software.

by the numbers

  • 45%cut in ML infrastructure costs ($80K/yr) across 10+ production BERT models
  • 70%less time spent finding and reading research papers, via AI automations
  • 2×precision (+0.25 F1) on production models through experimentation and A/B testing
  • 45%better recommendation precision with deep learning at American Express

experience

Technology Consultant

May 2026 – Present

Self-Employed

  • Help non-technical organizations bring AI into their workflows with bespoke software, automations and data infrastructure that get rid of mundane, repetitive work.
  • For BioShift Life Sciences, built AI infrastructure from the ground up, including a retrieval-augmented research assistant that helps the team access and synthesize research across domains.
  • Designed automations for discovering and digesting academic literature, cutting time spent locating and reading papers by 70%.

Associate Applied AI/ML Scientist

Jun 2025 – Jul 2026

Sprout Social

  • Reduced infrastructure costs by 45% ($80K annually) across 10+ production BERT models with FP16 mixed-precision inference, replica optimization (66 → 36), and quantization and distillation experiments, without sacrificing model quality.
  • Improved model performance by +0.25 F1 and 2× precision through feature engineering, experimentation, A/B testing and post-deployment monitoring.
  • Led evaluation and prototyping of LLM systems, designing benchmarks for quality, latency, bias, hallucination risk and cost to inform production decisions.
  • Owned end-to-end Bluesky and Threads support for a production ML feature, extending ingestion pipelines and running Spark backfills for 6,000+ profiles.
  • Built monitoring and observability for ML services with Airflow, StatsD and Datadog.

AI Studio Intern

Aug 2024 – Dec 2024

American Express

  • Improved recommendation precision by 45% by developing and evaluating deep learning models for personalized product targeting.
  • Engineered a two-tower recommendation model using user behavior and demographics to influence product strategy.
  • Built scalable feature engineering pipelines, cutting data processing time by 30% and improving training efficiency by 20%.
