Overview

I like to think of myself as analytically minded and that I’ve demonstrated a strong ability to deliver complex insights via data analytics and advanced data-driven methods.

Recent Experience

Senior AI / ML Scientist – Datasite

  • Research and develop solutions in support of Datasite’s suite of products targeting the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) sector
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)
    • Document Classification
    • Hybridized Vector Store Search
  • Generative AI
    • “Doc Chat” beta – interactive chat with a Large Language Model (LLM) about one or more documents
    • Concurrent agents
    • Fine-tuning open source LLMs for document classification

Data Scientist (Officer) – U.S. Bank

  • Collaborate with Global Fund Services to provide statistical analysis to answer weekly questions from executive team, such as the feasibility of forecasting dividends and demonstrating an approach to flag unusual transactions in real time
  • Planned and assigned schedules and projects for an offshore data science team
  • Implemented a document digitization strategy for extracting information from invoices
  • Created an AIOps incident prediction model that reads metrics from Application Performance Management (APM) systems to predict whether the application is at risk of incident, providing detailed information about the risk factors
  • Developed a customer attrition model based on survival analysis and random forest, interviewing relationship managers for clients determined to be at risk by the models to learn more about them

Founder – Emphysic

Data Science Engineer – C.H. Robinson

  • Coordinated with Finance team and others to apply data science techniques into their workflow which were estimated to have been able to save over 200 hours of overtime per year
  • Developed a deep learning model to determine whether a document had been signed.  In production it scanned more than 35,000 images per day with over 96% accuracy
  • Developed an approach to handling “orphaned” documents, reading the contents of the document to place it with the correct shipment to reduce invoice processing time
