Strategic Lead Data Scientist with over seven years of experience architecting enterprise-scale machine learning ecosystems within the Distribution, Banking, and Education sectors. I specialize in the end-to-end orchestration of cloud-native AI—leveraging the Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery ML, and Vertex AI to transform legacy manual processes into high-performance automated pipelines.
Most recently, I led a massive digital transformation that achieved a 99.52% runtime reduction while managing a production environment of 100+ models and 200k+ unique SKUs. Beyond enterprise forecasting, I am an innovator in the Generative AI space, developing multimodal pipelines utilizing Whisper, Gemini, and ElevenLabs to solve complex narrative and data synthesis challenges.

Impact by the Numbers
- The Challenge: A legacy data process in Excel required 21 hours of manual execution time.
- The Solution: Migrated the infrastructure to a cloud-native Python environment leveraging BigQuery and Vertex AI.
- The Result: Reduced total runtime to 5 minutes, enabling near real-time decision-making for warehouse and hub operations.
- Inventory Scope: Orchestrated machine learning assortments for hundreds of store and hub locations carrying over 200k unique SKUs.
- Financial Impact: Optimized product availability and inventory depth, directly influencing millions in potential sales and inventory savings.
- Advanced Architecture: Built automated GCP Pipelines to manage transaction propensity for high-volume retail environments.
Scalable MLOps: Engineered and managed a suite of 100+ distinct propensity and demand models tailored for store-level and distribution center assortment optimization.
Champion-Challenger Framework: Implemented a rigorous validation gate within Vertex AI pipelines to compare fresh model outputs against existing “Champion” benchmarks.
Automated Quality Gates: Developed a “Pass/Fail” promotion logic using MAPE thresholds; only models demonstrating superior predictive accuracy on new data samples are promoted to production.
Google Cloud Platform Experience
Data Form & Snowflake
Enterprise Dataform Orchestration: Implemented Dataform (SQLX) to manage complex dependency trees and data transformations, ensuring high-integrity model outputs.
Cross-Platform Integration: Streamlined the delivery of curated ML outputs from GCP into Snowflake, providing a centralized “Source of Truth” for organizational consumption.
Executive Visibility: Automated the data flow from 100s of sources into Domo, delivering real-time actionable insights to C-suite executives.
Big Query
In-Warehouse Machine Learning: Leveraged BQML to develop and deploy XGBoost propensity models and ARIMA demand forecasting directly within the data warehouse.
High-Volume Forecasting: Engineered scalable modeling frameworks to predict transaction likelihood and inventory depth for 200k+ SKUs across hundreds of locations.
Process Efficiency: Achieved a 99.52% runtime reduction by migrating legacy Excel-based calculations into highly optimized BigQuery SQL and BQML environments.
VertexAI
Automated Performance Validation: Engineered individual Vertex AI pipelines for four distinct propensity models, incorporating automated evaluation against predefined success criteria.
Model Orchestration: Architected multi-stage GCP Pipelines to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of BQML models, from automated retraining to final output curation.
Hybrid Intelligence: Combined traditional ML (ARIMA/XGBoost) with cutting-edge Generative AI (Gemini 1.5 Pro) to solve complex business logic and narrative synthesis challenges.
Recent Personal Projects
D&D Recap | Multimodal Narrative Intelligence Pipeline
Audio Engineering & Diarization: Engineered a custom pipeline to process multi-channel Discord audio using OpenAI Whisper, implementing speaker identification and diarization to convert raw audio into structured scripts.
Contextual Script Synthesis: Leveraged Gemini 1.5 Pro’s long-context window to ingest extensive session scripts, utilizing advanced prompt engineering to generate consistent narrative recaps and stylized “narrator-perspective” scripts.
Voice Synthesis & Distribution: Integrated ElevenLabs API with a custom-trained voice clone to automate the production of high-fidelity audio recaps, delivering a professional-grade narrative experience to stakeholders (players).
Process Automation: Built the end-to-end workflow to handle the transition from unstructured audio data to polished, multi-format (text and audio) creative assets.
