About Me
I turn complex technical challenges into scalable solutions that drive measurable business value. Whether it’s leading a $50k enterprise pilot at 16, optimizing a 9-figure-scale ML platform @Intuit, or building AI-powered health tech apps, my focus is on impact, speed, and precision.
I think of myself as a venture capitalist of my time, money, and impact -- seeking projects that multiply value for users, teams, and organizations.
Key Achievements
Intuit Credit Karma | Machine Learning Engineer
- Optimized ML model inference from 7 hours → 36 minutes (92% faster) and cost from $600 → $89 (85% cheaper), enabling $400k+ annual savings.
- Built large-scale data pipelines with Apache Spark (via BigQuery) and Apache Beam on GCP Dataflow, processing millions of records daily.
- Containerized Spark/Beam jobs with Docker and deployed via Dataflow Flex Templates, ensuring reproducible, cloud-native workflows.
- Scaled Data Science workloads to 10x more models without increasing infrastructure cost/load.
- Designed batch processing, fixed cost vs ammortized, and parallel I/O optimizations now referenced in Google Cloud’s ML inference offerings.
- Applied systems-level thinking for production ML at enterprise scale, balancing latency, throughput, and cost.
Glow | Founder & AI Product Lead
- Built an AI-powered iOS app gamifying at-home behavior logging for parents and BCBAs.
- Achieved 92% daily engagement with reports automatically delivered to professionals, cutting session prep in half.
