What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to build robust, cost-optimized AI/ML solutions at high-growth startups, using my hands-on experience with Python, SQL, AWS, and Docker.

At Rappi, I designed and deployed a production price-elasticity model that improved forecast wMAPE from 80–120% to 32–42%, informing pricing strategy for a 35M+ user platform. I also built an anomaly-detection system and scaled batch orchestration to handle twice the workload with 65% faster forecast refreshes.

At Fountain9, where I was a founding team member, I led forecasting and pricing models for 25+ enterprise clients and reduced forecasting framework runtime and memory by more than 50%. I’ve also developed LLM-orchestrated workflows for ML pipeline refactoring and, at Capgemini, built ELT pipelines and Power BI dashboards.
