Lead Data Scientist
March 2025 - Present

Agentic AI & Autonomous Decision Systems

  • Built enterprise agentic AI platform using LangGraph/LangSmith that automatically generates pricing bids from unstructured sources (PDFs, emails, Excel files), handling $80B+ in annual freight bids. Cut turnaround time by 40 hours and freed up 20 FTEs
  • Created MCP server infrastructure that lets agent systems pull costing guidance and deliver consistent, real-time decision support to commercial reps
  • Deployed conversational analytics agents that give business users on-demand pricing intelligence and recommendations

Production ML & Decision Intelligence

  • Built and deployed costing engines for all transactional and contractual freight—the backbone of our pricing strategy
  • Rewrote critical time-series library (farseer) in Rust for better performance in production forecasting pipelines
  • Developed predictive models and NLP systems for demand forecasting, route optimization, and customer behavior analysis

Cloud Infrastructure & MLOps

  • Deployed and maintained AI systems in Kubernetes using Helm, troubleshot OOM errors and connection issues with k8s/k9s
  • Built AI governance frameworks around "trust but verify" to handle model overconfidence in business-critical systems
  • Set up CI/CD pipelines for model deployment, monitoring, and observability
