Work

2021 - Present: Aware

Machine Learning Operations Engineer

  • Helping data scientists and analysts iterate and bring models and insights to production faster. Idk, I just started, come back later when I've done something. So far I've been playing around with provisioning AWS resources via Terraform and implementing CI/CD for custom images for use in Amazon SageMaker.

2017, 2018 - 2021: CoverMyMeds

Senior Data Scientist (2020-Present); Data Scientist (2018-2020)

  • Brought to production multiple models (SQL-based and then python-based) used to estimate approval likelihood for prior authorizations which helped drive adoption of company software by a regional pharmacy chain resulting in increased revenue.
  • Architected productionization process for the data science team's models via a combination of SQL stored procedures, an adhoc model registry based on docker images, building API images from those images, and exploiting the company's existing CI/CD technology used by software development teams.
  • Implemented algorithm in SQL to determine therapeutic alternatives for prescribed medication by incorporating drug switching observed in pharmacies with knowledge from in-house pharmacists and third party drug equivalence information. Software using this algorithm was integrated into pharmacies, electronic health records, and CoverMyMeds' portal.
  • Re-wrote SQL stored procedures used to generate data for multiple in production data science models including the use and implementation of star schemas.
  • Started company's data science journal club.
  • Agile SME for data science team.
  • Established greater connections between the business unit containing the data science team and Talent Management to discuss how to improve diversity in hiring for data centric roles.

Intern (Summer 2017)

  • Implemented particle swarm and Baysiean optimization algorithms for hyperparameter tuning in scala.

2017, 2020 - Present: Erdos Institute

Head of Alumni-Led Programming (2021-present), Head of Alumni Relations (2020-2021)

  • Started Boot Camp Plus seminar for graduates of the Erdos Institute Data Science Boot Camp to help build additional skills
  • Organized LinkedIn group to help maintain connections among graduate school alumni who participated in Erdos Institute programming
  • Met with potential corporate partners Invitations to Industry seminar talks
