About
Across scientific problems and machine-learning systems.
I am an AI engineer and computational scientist based in Houston. I have spent my career close to both the data-generating problem and the model: first in biology and genomics, then across model development, evaluation, scientific software, and production AI systems.
I am most interested in work that requires understanding the problem, the data, the model, the evaluation, and the system around it. Biomedical science is an area of genuine depth for me, not a boundary on the kinds of engineering and research problems I take on.
