Who Am I?

Problem solving is a core part of my work, and currently that includes taking messy data and translating it into business solutions. I work across all facets of the data lifecycle including engineering, analytics, and modeling (occasionally with results that are statistically significant.)

Where Am I?

Currently I'm a Sr. Data Scientist with ReefPoint Group, a D.C. based government consulting firm. In my time I've worked extensively with Palantir Foundry and Microsoft Power Platform understanding the business needs of non-technical stakeholders and turning them into data-driven solutions for the VA.

Some of my notable projects include building a classification model for detecting demographic collection points in VA forms and building out a full database management system (DBMS) with Microsoft Power Platform for tracking and analyzing Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) collections as they move through the approval lifecycle.

Where Will I Be?

My goal is to continue to understand more of the data ecosystem. I aim to understand and implement cloud-based machine learning systems from end-to-end, getting the data out of the warehouses and into the hands of those who need it the most.

There's no shortage of tools in the AI landscape, and I aim to leverage those for maximum efficiency. I continue to research and explore Natural Language Processing (NLP) and speech-to-text models (like Open AI's Whisper) to extract insight from spoken word.
