Experience

Where I've Worked
Data Scientist @ BNY
August 2023 - Present

I started off on the data lake analytics team, where I developed machine learning and statistical models to analyze data ingestion patterns and optimize producer/consumer behavior.

Then I moved to alerts and monitoring, where I built automated alerting systems and dashboards to proactively surface data pipeline issues.

Most recently, I joined the data platform's AI team, where I build AI agents to enhance data platform capabilities, such as accelerating data discovery and onboarding or strengthening data quality and governance workflows.
