Experienced builder, open to the right next opportunity

I build production ML systems and practical AI products that teams can actually use.

Over the last decade I have worked across forecasting, pricing, recommendation, and operational ML in production settings. I am now looking for the next chapter: strong teams, meaningful problems, and opportunities where hands-on technical judgment still matters.

  • 10+ years across forecasting, pricing, recommendation, and operational ML in production
  • Strong at bridging technical depth, product judgment, and stakeholder trust
  • Open to senior IC, lead, and selective consulting opportunities

Why teams bring me in

Senior judgment, hands-on execution, and a bias toward systems that survive contact with reality.

I am an applied machine learning builder with a hands-on background in forecasting, pricing, recommendation systems, and production data products. Most of my work has lived in environments where reliability, clarity, and operational usefulness matter more than hype.

I enjoy turning ambiguous business problems into systems that actually ship. That can mean designing a grounded LLM workflow, improving an existing model stack, building better evaluation loops, or helping a team move from prototype thinking to dependable production behavior.

Right now I am especially interested in the next role or collaboration where I can contribute as a senior builder: close to the work, close to the stakeholders, and focused on useful outcomes.

Scaled network forecasting

Improved site-level error from 30%+ to under 15% by replacing hundreds of bespoke models with a more scalable ML approach.

Built forecasting systems that could survive constant network change, new locations, new product launches, and noisy operational data.

Made pricing models more usable

Matched ensemble-level performance using only five common shipment features, making live pricing services far easier to operationalize.

Focused on practical model design, latency, interpretability, and business continuity in environments where downtime is expensive.

Led through ambiguity

Helped grow teams, mentor junior talent, and translate technical work into decisions that stakeholders could actually act on.

Strong projects need more than model quality; they need communication, trust, and systems people can operate.

Where I add value

The mix of skills I bring to a strong team or meaningful build.

Applied AI Product Design

Turn fuzzy ideas into scoped, useful products and decision engines, with clear user value, realistic architecture, and a path to delivery.

LLM Workflows and Evaluation

Design grounded assistants, retrieval workflows, internal knowledge tools, and evaluation loops with an eye on trust, cost, and maintainability.

Production ML Systems

Build or improve forecasting, pricing, recommendation, scoring, and optimization systems with an emphasis on measurable business impact.

Technical Leadership

Bring senior technical judgment, mentoring, prioritization, and cross-functional translation without drifting away from hands-on execution.

Core expertise

Built at the intersection of applied ML, modern AI, and operational decision-making.

LLM Systems

Retrieval-augmented generation, prompt workflows, source-grounded answers, evaluation loops, and internal copilots.

Production Machine Learning

Forecasting, regression, classification, recommendation, anomaly detection, and experimentation in real operating environments.

Decision Infrastructure

Pricing services, operational planning tools, automation pipelines, and data products that have to support live business decisions.

Technical Translation

Bridging product, engineering, operators, analysts, and leadership so complex systems stay usable, trusted, and aligned with the business.

Ways I can contribute

Open to the right role, collaboration, or focused project.

Open to new opportunities

If you need someone who can work across model quality, product judgment, and delivery, I would be glad to talk.
