What I'm looking for

I seek a senior/data-lead role where I can build production ML systems, scale data pipelines, drive measurable business impact, and establish analytics best practices within a collaborative, data-driven organization.

I am a Senior Data Scientist with 15+ years of hands-on experience building production machine learning systems, predictive models, and scalable data pipelines across healthcare, media, and telecommunications.

I have engineered large-scale data processing (150B+ records) and built end-to-end infrastructure using SQL, R, Python, Spark, and cloud platforms to operationalize models and reduce scoring latency by 96%.

My work has driven measurable impact including $10M annual cost optimization, enabling $800M+ contract negotiations, identifying $100M+ growth opportunities, and contributing to $900+ million in total business impact through model development and analytics.

I establish ML best practices and data-as-a-product frameworks, create reusable ETL assets, and deliver actionable dashboards and experimentation to improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
