Curiosity-first.
Data always.

I've always been fascinated to questions without neat answers. Space, celestial phenomena, systems too complex to fully grasp. Data pulled me in the same way. I'm continually amazed at how much meaning you can extract from the right data if you're willing to look hard enough.

That same drive pushed me past analysis into building. Over two years as a Data Scientist at The STATIC Store, I built the company's entire analytics infrastructure from scratch starting from sales pipelines, demand forecasting to customer segmentation on a live business with real stakes. Now, that I'm finishing my Master's in AI and Business Analytics at USF, I've shipped systems that go well beyond the notebook: real-time promo abuse detection on Kafka and Spark, end-to-end ML pipelines on Airflow and BigQuery, and a causal uplift model that translated into a modeled 175K annualized impact.

Teaching AI and Analytics as a Teaching Assistant at USF has sharpened my thinking further. Explaining why a model makes a tradeoff forces understanding at a depth that purely technical work doesn't.

Actively seeking full-time roles in data science, AI/ML engineering, and analytics.

Let's Build
Something.

I am not just looking for a job. I want a problem that's worth solving. If you're building something at the intersection of data, decisions, and real impact, that's where I want to be. Let's talk.
