About

Professional summary

I am an Applied ML/AI Engineer with production experience building machine learning, deep learning, predictive analytics, and generative AI solutions for municipal, federal, banking, and regulated enterprise environments.

I design end-to-end AI systems, including retrieval-augmented generation platforms, fine-tuned open-source LLMs, document-classification workflows, predictive forecasting models, and automated data pipelines. My work emphasizes factual reliability, latency optimization, observability, governance, and practical deployment.

I have hands-on expertise in Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, Hugging Face Transformers, SQL, Spark, Azure Synapse Analytics, AWS SageMaker, Docker, MLflow, and CI/CD practices for machine learning systems.

In my current municipal technology role, I lead applied AI and ML initiatives, translate operational needs into technical problem statements, and guide engineering and analytics delivery. I have delivered generative AI capabilities that reduced query latency by 40% while maintaining strong accuracy and reliability controls.

I also bring experience supporting classified federal environments and enterprise financial systems, with a strong appreciation for security protocols, compliance, documentation, infrastructure reliability, and technical tradeoff analysis.

I am a U.S. citizen, clearance eligible, and open to relocation within the DMV area and hybrid collaboration. I am especially interested in mission-focused AI engineering roles involving public-sector, federal, regulated, or high-impact software systems.

Career history

Programmer Analyst III (Applied AI & ML Lead) City of St. Louis

I design, build, and deploy production machine learning and predictive forecasting models using Python, Scikit-learn, and TensorFlow to support municipal operations and public resource allocation. I also architect automated SQL and Python ETL pipelines connected to Azure Synapse Analytics, with emphasis on data integrity, governance, and operational dashboards.

I lead generative AI and prompt-engineering initiatives that integrate LLM capabilities into mission-critical municipal software services. I have deployed Hugging Face transformer models for document classification and summarization, implemented hallucination detection and bias scoring, and led a five-person engineering and analytics team through iterative sprint delivery.

Desktop Support Specialist (Federal Technical Support) Meridian Staffing Solutions / National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)

I supported technical operational staff in a classified federal intelligence environment while adhering to DoD and NGA information-security protocols. My responsibilities included user-access administration, system troubleshooting, hardware deployment, and secure infrastructure-node support across high-security facilities.

I collaborated with systems engineers to diagnose operating-system, peripheral, and network-interface issues. I maintained detailed technical documentation and supported compliance-oriented audits and operational processes.

Technology Support Engineer & Systems Analyst Wells Fargo Bank

I fine-tuned instruction-based generative AI models and natural-language workflows to automate internal technical-documentation responses and incident triage. I also developed Python analytics scripts and queried enterprise SQL Server metadata to automate operational reporting pipelines.

I designed and prototyped a GAN for synthetic operational-data generation to improve anomaly-detection workflows, reducing false positives by 27%. I evaluated model complexity, inference latency, and hardware-utilization tradeoffs to maintain SLA compliance for enterprise banking services.

IBM Mainframe Data Operator Heavy Duty Security Co. / Kemper Life Insurance

I maintained large-scale batch jobs and high-volume ETL processing schedules using Tivoli and CA Workload Automation, ensuring reliable data processing and data integrity for predictive-modeling feeds.

I developed diagnostic scripts and automated reporting utilities using DFSORT and IDCAMS, reducing batch-processing failures and downtime by 15%. I also assisted engineering teams with migration of legacy on-premise transactional records to cloud-based distributed NoSQL and relational repositories.
