Principal Data Scientist & Consultant

Highly experienced Data Scientist and Consultant with over 20 years of experience, specializing in fractional leadership and solving complex, 'gnarly' data science problems where standard solutions or AI fall short. Proven track record includes saving an automaker from recalls, predicting server failures for a major cloud vendor, and addressing challenges in oil & gas, automotive, and shipping. Expertise spans real-time routing (CVRP-PD-TW), legal entity extraction, tissue classification, and advanced LLM/agentic engineering. Emphasizes problem-driven solutions over tool-driven approaches, with extensive experience in planning, prototyping, and productionizing data science solutions. Seeks challenging problems, particularly those involving physical applications, and explicitly declines work in ads, gambling, or 'enshittification'.
