About
My career includes 7 years in data science and software engineering, and 3 years in finance - I started my career in investment banking and private equity and then became a data scientist due to my computer science background. I did my undergrad at Harvard. I am currently working for the family office of Dan Friedkin, who has assets of $11 billion plus. I am currently helping to invest in the software and technology industries and doing projects for the automotive and logistics industries. Previously at Kohl's, I worked in the retail industry. At the family office I worked at before that, I gained experience in consumer finance, insurance, and aviation. At BNP Paribas, where I started my career, I worked in the renewable energy and real estate industries. I started programming in high school when I took Java and Visual Basic at University of Houston and AP CS. Then I took more CS classes in college while doing a lot of programming for my startup. Fast forward and now I'm an AI Engineer. I have also done work in data engineering, software engineering, optimization, MLOps, and DevOps. Projects I've worked on include Gen AI, Computer Vision, NLP, time series, production web app develo
