What I'm looking for
I am a Data Scientist & ML Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing, deploying, and scaling ML/AI systems in production. My background spans traditional ML, statistical modeling, deep learning, and large language models (LLMs). I have built solutions across domains including geospatial imagery, weather forecasting, astronomy, advertising, movement and user behavior modeling.
At Pelmorex Weather, I developed scalable ML pipelines handling 100k+ models with Ray & Dataflow, optimized ensemble weather forecasts with meteorologists, and collaborated on GraphCast-style GNNs for medium-range prediction. I also built CNN models for geospatial imagery and designed demographic prediction pipelines covering 80% of users from sparse ground truth.
In parallel, I’ve worked with LLMs, building RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and custom evaluation frameworks. I am fluent in PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace, Ray, and have deep experience with Python, SQL, and distributed systems.
My academic foundation is in Physics & Astronomy (York University, First Class Distinction) and I have research experience at CHIME (Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment), where I developed CNN classifiers for Fast Radio Burst detection in real-time radio astronomy data.
I am especially passionate about applying AI to climate, space, and scientific challenges, while also contributing to practical industry-scale ML. Long-term, I aspire to lead AI initiatives that merge science and technology for global impact.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Data Scientist experienced in traditional ML (RF, XGBoost, regression, clustering), statistical modeling (time series, PCA, SHAP, bias correction), and deep learning (CNNs, GNNs, GraphCast). Optimized distributed training (100k+ models w/ Ray+Dataflow). Built LLM pipelines (RAG, agentic workflows, evals). Skilled in PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace.
Data Intern
Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME)
Analyzed Fast Radio Burst (FRB) catalogs and developed a CNN classifier for sidelobe event detection in real time (milliseconds), enabling outriggers to capture additional data. Investigated radio frequency interference patterns and optimized models for precision-recall, delivering mitigation strategies and false-positive estimates.
