Data Scientist, Solutions Architect, Avid Traveller

 

Building innovating applications and technologies since 2012

Based outside New York City, I am a passionate data scientist specializing in machine learning, big data scalability, and big data ethics. Recent projects include MLFairnessPipeline, COVID-19 epidemiological model simulations, and Cross-Model Cross Validation.

The term “machine learning” generates buzz and excitement, and rightfully so. I build and develop models to gain insights on data that escapes the human eye and make predictions about important events. The field is still in its infancy and I make contributions in hopes of driving us into the future.

In 2018, there were an estimated 18 zettabytes of data in the world. By 2025, we are estimated to have 175 zettabytes for a growth factor of nearly 10. As the volume of data we work with grows exponentially we need more innovative scalability and parallelization techniques. Using the Apache ecosystem I build distributed systems to process massive volumes of data in short periods of time.

We are just beginning to scratch the surface of what big data can do and my mission is to use data for good. Whether this involves combatting racial injustice, designing COVID-19 safety measures, or reducing traffic fatalities, I aim to always have a real-world impact.

Outside of the world of data I love to explore and get exposed to new ideas. An avid traveller, I enjoy learning about different cultures and beliefs and the world around me. Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China, and the Grand Canyon, are just a few of the magnificent wonders of the world I have had the opportunity to explore.

I previously worked as a full stack developer specializing in back-end, mobile, and web technologies. I have built big data solutions for projects ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Whether you’re a technical recruiter for a large corporation or an entrepreneur with a vision, I’d love to chat and collaborate!

Areas of Expertise


Machine learning

The new and exciting field of machine learning is going to impact every facet of life as we know it. I build and design models and leverage data to gain insights, identify trends, and drive business value.


Big data scalability

Distributed computing platforms and parallelization is more important than ever as the volume of data in the world grows larger and larger. Using the Apache ecosystem I design large-scale computing clusters to process massive volumes of data.


Big data ethics

Automation is here to stay, more and more tasks are being performed by machines instead of humans every day. The power of big data is limitless and with great power comes great responsibility. I build Ethics as a Service platforms so others can join the movement.
