Applied Research & Systems Thinking

I work at the intersection of applied research and real-world systems, where statistical rigor, machine learning, and design constraints meet.

My focus is not just on building models, but on understanding how learning systems behave in production — under uncertainty, scale, and real operational constraints.

from ideas import decisions

Experience at Scale

Over the last 7+ years, my work has focused on solving complex, high-impact problems using data science, machine learning, and system-level thinking—particularly in environments where scale, uncertainty, and long-term reliability matter. This includes work across domains such as finance, supply chain, retail, and data-driven growth functions.

I have worked across the full lifecycle—from ambiguous problem definition and data strategy, to modeling, system design, and decision integration—often simplifying complex problem spaces into clear, structured solutions that teams can trust, maintain, and evolve over time.

Technical Foundation

Modeling & Learning
  • Statistical modeling, machine learning, deep learning, text models, time-series forecasting, model tuning and stabilization at scale

  • Attention to model behavior, assumptions, and failure modes

Data & Systems

  • Data modeling, pipelines, and analytical foundations that support reliable decision-making

  • Designing systems where data, models, and outputs remain aligned as scale increases

Automation & Intelligence

  • Reducing manual complexity by embedding intelligence into workflows and systems

  • Preference for stable, explainable automation over brittle scripts

Domains

  • Finance, Risk, Supply Chain, Retail, Ad-Tech, Operations, and large-scale analytical systems

Leadership Unfolded

Team Readiness & Efficiency
My leadership has focused on enabling teams to operate effectively in fast-evolving data science and AI environments by building readiness, clarity, and confidence. This includes identifying friction and bottlenecks, then shaping structured, intelligent solutions that improve efficiency and reduce manual effort.

Systems Alignment & Foresight
I work closely with product owners and stakeholders to maintain shared understanding of system behavior, emerging risks, and opportunities for advantage. This often involves reframing problems—shifting from reactive reporting to early signals and model-driven controls that support timely decisions.

Execution & Capability Building
I remain hands-on across initiatives end to end, breaking down complex problem spaces, designing solution paths, and simplifying them into clear, executable steps. A key focus has been enabling others by making advanced analytical tools and methods usable across teams and regions, so capability scales with the system.
