Built a data platform that provided machine learning capabilities for a software startup. Leading a team of data scientists, ML Ops Engineers, and Data Engineers.* Built on AWS Databricks, using MLFlow, Databricks Inference Endpoints, Vector Index Search, Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, and Structured Streaming Jobs* Models are mostly NLP and LLMs, but also include K-Means clustering and others* Implemented Langchain* Programming contracts are all through Kafka topics and Pydantic* Full A/B testing, CI/CD pipelines, unit testing, integration testing, and most other devops/ML Ops best practicesAlso leading ML/Gen AI experimentation and spiking. Conducting all code reviews/pull requests as well as being an active committer. Conducted experiments and application integration with ChatGPT (3.5, 4), Spacey, Flair, MosaicML, Bard, Llama2, and many other hugging face models. Implemented vector databases and proper prompt engineering practices, including A/B testing prompts and appropriate prompt deployment.It's a startup, so I wear a lot of hats, and participate in hiring, budgeting, team leading, product ownership, fund raising, demoing, testing, plunging the toilet, and anything else that needs to get done to ensure a successful product launch and implementation.

I love all things data, but am particularly passionate about helping organizations meet their goals through evidenced-based decision making. I understand fundamentals of sales, marketing, production, organizational management, leadership, and financial planning. I use data to inform, inspire, and energize all levels of leadership so that their blind spots are removed, their risks are highlighted, and their opportunities are raised in time to do something about it. I also love data's ability to communicate and get an entire organization on the same page.General Experience: * Lead teams using all best practices, including source control, CI/CD, unit testing, data testing, load testing, devops/ML Ops* Lead large teams of up to 20 people and multiple teams at once.* Responsible for all quality metrics, including data quality and code quality.* Managed budgets, payroll, and all financial reporting* Worked in a variety of industries, including FinTech, Manufacturing, Finance, Retail, and ConstructionTechnical Experience: * Design and implement data models for analytical systems (star schemas, SCDs, Lakehouses, Temporal tables, etc)* Design and implement resilient and high performing data pipelines (Spark, Python, Azure Databricks, Azure Synapse, DBT, T-SQL, Python, Scala)* Design and implement high-scale transactional systems (sharding, read/write separation, monitoring, indexing, compression, caching, CQRS)* Modeling and implementing non-SQL stores (graph, document, key/value, etc)* Create reporting and analytical artifacts in Power BI (DAX, dashboarding, data storytelling, M, python, and Power BI governance)I speak at conferences around the world, write books, help customers, and engage with a wider community.I also like making videos on technology, data, Power BI, business books I read, and anything else that comes to mind.
