About

I am a strategic senior Machine Learning Engineer with over six years of experience architecting and deploying scalable AI/ML solutions across Snowflake, Splunk, and C3.ai platforms. I am an expert in Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, MLflow, Apache Kafka, and MLOps best practices deployment. I have a proven track record of boosting demand forecast accuracy by 22%, reducing incident resolution time by 25%, and driving 15% energy savings through closed loop control systems while ensuring GDPR and HIPAA compliance.

With a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Houston, I have led multiple AI/ML initiatives including large-scale energy management rollouts, telemetry analytics for motorsports, and observability integrations for real-time anomaly detection. My technical expertise extends to cloud computing on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, along with strong capabilities in CI/CD automation, monitoring, and system health management using Jenkins, Prometheus, and Grafana.
