Developed anomaly-detection models that improved fraud detection precision while maintaining interpretability.
Epic Systems – Healthcare Analytics
Built readmission risk and quality-metric models using claims and registry data.
Political Data Dashboards
Created interactive demographic and voter-trend dashboards used by advocacy and policy groups.
Financial Forecasting
Modeled stock-market and economic indicator trends with advanced time-series and sentiment features.
NLP Summarization
Deployed transformer-based summarizers for long-form financial reports and research analysis.
Communication & Delivery
Clients value my ability to bridge the technical and strategic. I routinely:
Lead and participate in client meetings to align business goals with technical design
Present data findings in clear, jargon-free language to executives and stakeholders
Provide written reports, annotated notebooks, and reproducible deliverables
Manage timelines, expectations, and transparency from start to finish
Approach
Every engagement starts with one question: “What decision needs to be made?”
I design data workflows and AI systems that make those decisions faster, more accurate, and more explainable. Each project ends with clean, interpretable, and documented outputs—ready for production or presentation.

I design curriculum systems and AI-powered learning architectures for K-12 education.
For 12+ years, I've built personalized learning programs at Think Prep (New York), helping students excel in competitive academics — Hunter/SSAT/ISEE/HSPT/SHSAT/SAT/AP prep, and gifted education. I know what works in the classroom.
My teaching background is cross-curricular by necessity. I've taught AP Calculus alongside AP Physics, showing students how derivatives describe motion and integrals calculate work. From gifted elementary students to high schoolers preparing for AMC competitions, I've taught across levels and abilities — always emphasizing problems that blend geometry, number theory, and algebraic reasoning in a single question. This experience taught me that real learning happens at the intersections — and that most curricula fail to build those bridges.
Now I work at the systems level: designing curriculum frameworks, and building knowledge architectures that align learning objectives across subjects and grade levels.
What I deliver:
-Curriculum audits and vertical/horizontal alignment
-Learning management system design and EdTech consulting
-AI-enhanced adaptive learning frameworks
-Instructional content development (Math, Science, Test Prep)
Whether you're an EdTech startup needing curriculum architecture, a school district redesigning scope-and-sequence, or a content company building adaptive courseware — I bring both classroom experience and technical depth.
