Work Experience

AI / Full-Stack Machine Learning Engineer at Wells Fargo
April 1, 2025 - Present
Designed and deployed backend systems using FastAPI to orchestrate ML-driven automation workflows across data ingestion, inference, reporting, and delivery. Built modular API endpoints for ML results, analytics metadata, and document-generation capabilities; implemented async execution, batching, and background pipelines to support high-volume workloads. Transformed multimodal ML outputs into client-ready reports and developed validation and templating logic to meet formatting, compliance, and traceability requirements. Created React interfaces for analysts to validate AI-generated reports, annotations, and anomalies; integrated feedback loops to feed continuous-improvement pipelines for ML models and rules engines. Implemented Postgres storage with structured schemas and ensured full traceability through lineage metadata. Added reliability safeguards and instrumented monitoring for latency, task completion, user validation, and document-generation accuracy.
Senior ML / Software Engineer (Contract) — Vision & Workflow Automation at Dell Technologies
October 1, 2024 - March 1, 2025
Built computer-vision pipelines to detect visual changes with structured, explainable outputs. Designed feature-extraction and similarity-scoring workflows to quantify differences in visual quality and task compliance. Generated structured CV reports with overlays and pixel diffs; aggregated data from multiple systems to produce end-to-end automated documentation packages. Integrated rule-based and ML-based validation logic and exposed analytics via FastAPI microservices. Designed Postgres-backed workflows with full lineage and reproducibility for inference outputs and audit metadata; implemented data-integrity safeguards and telemetry; optimized performance with async processing and batching.
Full-Stack / ML Platform Engineer at Nike
January 1, 2022 - November 1, 2024
Developed internal web tooling to visualize model outputs, feature signals, and data-quality metrics. Built dashboards for side-by-side model comparisons, drift trends, and confidence distributions; designed UI components for tracing features to source data and documenting anomalies. Automated generation of human-readable documentation from AI outputs and enabled human-in-the-loop workflows to feed model refinements. Implemented FastAPI backends for secure, versioned delivery of model results and document-generation capabilities; optimized Postgres schemas for high-volume analytics; established reliability patterns and monitoring for dashboard usage, API latency, and data freshness. Collaborated with compliance, risk, and business teams to ensure auditability.
Machine Learning Engineer — Data-Driven Model Deployment at Wells Fargo
October 1, 2020 - December 1, 2021
Built document-automation systems powered by ML analytics to generate compliance-grade reports. Designed FastAPI-based backends exposing document-generation and analytics insights; implemented automated information extraction and document assembly using classification, OCR/NLP pipelines, and structured rule engines. Ensured reproducibility through schema-based formatting and deterministic templates; added provenance metadata for audit readiness; integrated human-in-the-loop review flows to capture corrections and improve model-driven document quality. Established CI checks to enforce data-integrity thresholds and collaborated with compliance teams to encode domain-specific rules.
Software / ML Engineer at McAfee
May 1, 2018 - September 1, 2020
Built image- and video-based visualization tooling to compare before/after model outputs, enabling rapid inspection of feature and pattern changes. Created interactive overlays, extracted keyframes and pixel-level diffs, and designed annotation utilities for cross-team sharing. Integrated visualization with experiment-tracking systems to correlate qualitative insights with model checkpoints; supported cross-release comparison across versions and architectures; contributed to end-to-end testing and debugging across inference, data, and evaluation services.
Data Engineer — ETL, SQL, and Business Reporting at SanDisk
