I'm currently working as the Program Manager of Analytics and AI for Mesa Associates focusing primarily on the energy and manufacturing industries. I manage a team of skilled individuals with backgrounds in mathematics, data systems and modeling, and industrial engineering. My diverse technical exposure ranging from fuel system components in combustion turbines, cyclotron cooling for medical equipment, and power distribution systems enables me to analyze data utilizing a thorough understanding of the underlying systems generating the data. My path to data analytics began with business automation in the manufacturing arm of the aerospace and defense industry where I built solutions to everyday issues such as file processing and automated visual inspection platforms. I then took on department management, project engineering, and project management by developing lightweight databases which streamlined decision making, status/kpi reporting, and planning activities.
