What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead applied ML, data, and cloud infrastructure initiatives where I can deliver measurable cost, reliability, and revenue impact while mentoring engineers and advancing practical AI adoption.

At Cascade Systems Group, I lead enterprise infrastructure and production machine-learning initiatives that reduce costs, improve uptime, and deliver business value. I migrated legacy on-prem infrastructure to AWS, cutting annual costs by $85,000 while raising uptime from 98.2% to 99.9%.

I own three production ML models for churn prediction, demand forecasting, and ticket routing that serve 12,000+ daily predictions. I also led delivery of a RAG-based knowledge assistant that reduced support-ticket resolution time by 35% across 400+ employees.

I build with Python, SQL, AWS, LangChain, OpenAI API, Pinecone, FastAPI, and Docker, while mentoring junior engineers and leading an internal AI Practitioners guild. Earlier, I delivered a churn model that contributed to a $310,000 reduction in annual customer attrition and automated reporting workflows that saved 20 hours weekly.
