About

I'm a Principal Software Engineer and MLOps specialist with 10+ years of experience building production ML systems and data infrastructure at scale.

Currently at BuzzFeed, where I architect and maintain ML platforms that power content recommendations and analytics for millions of users.

Previously built ML infrastructure at Interos, led data engineering at Capital One, and built data science systems at Redhorse Corporation.

Based in Washington, D.C., I specialize in:

ML platform design and MLOps tooling
Kubernetes-based ML infrastructure
Data pipeline architecture
Cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP)
Platform engineering for data teams

I'm available for consulting engagements, advisory roles, and full-time opportunities.
