Summary

Physics Ph.D. with a decade of hands-on experience in data science, AI, and scientific computing. I’ve worked on everything from statistical modeling and simulation to machine learning and large-scale data processing across high-stakes, large-scale settings; from the big particle detectors at CERN to critical applications in healthcare and the energy sector. I’ve taken on both technical leadership and deeply hands-on roles, with end-to-end experience from early design and prototyping to implementation and large-scale production deployment. I thrive working on hard problems in fast-paced environments, especially when the stakes are high and the work demands both focus and creativity.
