Greater Boston

• Fine-tuned and deployed a multi-lingual pre-trained sentence encoder model that increased downstream classification accuracy by 21%
• Designed and optimized a learning-to-rank framework that generates 105% more paid jobs and 138% more onsite jobs while maintaining relevance.
• Prototyped and helped implement a feature store pipeline to collect and transform relevant profile information from over 6M profiles each day.

• Built a web app to help drivers find open parking spots with 98% accuracy using predictions built using over 36M historical observations.
• Collaborated with mentor to set up project management best practices, build and test predictive models, create Flask app, implement tests, and write documentation.
• Project is complete and can be found on my GitHub.

Greater Boston Area

• Developed analytics software to profile energy consumption patterns at retail facilities and compare them with those of peer facilities, identifying nearly $1 M in energy savings annually.
• Built a machine learning model to predict irrigation consumption across a portfolio of senior care facilities, with an accuracy of 91%.
• Built a model allowing a major franchise to recover $0.5 M annually in electricity costs from its commercial sub-tenants. Used regression to isolate sub-tenants' electricity consumption, allowing the franchise to.

• Analyzed energy consumption time series patterns at over 20,000 commercial facilities, identifying $100 M of energy cost savings potential across lighting, HVAC, and other energy systems.
• Built human-in-the-loop post-deployment model maintenance and quality control system to flag for manual review any models whose parameters drifted past predetermined set points. This system saved 20 hours of.
• Collaborated with project management team to communicate project challenges, findings, and results to often non-technical audiences.
