I’m a Founding Engineer at Imperium, where we make buying energy easy, transparent, and predictive. I oversee core strategies, the product roadmap, operations, technology, and fundraising—so I can connect business goals to technical execution.

I lead cross-functional work with data scientists and engineers to architect sophisticated machine-learning models in Python. The forecasting work includes up to 93% accuracy for predicting electricity pricing, using approaches such as LSTMs, ANNs, and ARIMAX/SARIMAX multivariate time-series forecasting.

I also manage and contribute to the engineering effort behind Imperium’s website and web applications. Using React/Next.js, TypeScript, Node, and AWS services like EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, and CloudFront, I help ship production features while keeping systems reliable and scalable.

Earlier, at Olive AI, I built RPA systems to automate patient/payer/provider workflows for healthcare. I improved portal automation efficiency by 40%, engineered healthcare data pipelines with HIPAA compliance in mind, and used AWS Lambda plus tools like Selenium/Puppeteer to automate workflows end-to-end.
