What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic organization that values innovation and data-driven decision-making.

With 18 years of experience in data science, I have led numerous AI and machine learning initiatives that have significantly enhanced organizational performance. At John Snow Inc, I spearheaded the development of an AI system that reduced drug churn, resulting in a substantial increase in vaccine earnings. My expertise spans anomaly detection, computer vision, and natural language processing, which I have effectively applied to improve prediction accuracy by 34% and generate an additional $48K in quarterly earnings.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on mentoring colleagues and optimizing machine learning models for scalability. My previous roles at FHI360 and Abt Associates allowed me to develop advanced data models and implement cloud computing solutions that streamlined analytics pipelines. I take pride in my ability to automate data processes, which has led to significant productivity gains and improved data integrity across various projects.

My educational background in Computer Science and Statistics, combined with my extensive technical skills in Python, TensorFlow, and cloud technologies, positions me as a valuable asset in any data-driven organization. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive strategic decision-making and enhance operational efficiency.
