Data Scientist & Applied ML Engineer

Statistics PhD Candidate at Rice University | NSF GRFP Fellow


About Me:

I am a Statistics Ph.D. Candidate at Rice University seeking full-time Data Scientist or ML Engineer roles starting June 2027. My work bridges the gap between novel algorithmic development and scalable, production-ready machine learning. I specialize in high-performance computational statistics, scalable Bayesian modeling, and deep learning architectures, with applications to high-stakes domains like precision medicine and risk forecasting. With a technical stack spanning Python, PyTorch, C++, R, and SQL, I build both robust production ML pipelines and novel statistical methodologies, backed by 8 peer-reviewed publications in oncology and health outcomes.

Highlighted Projects:

A Bayesian sum-of-trees model designed to incoporate measurement error in predictor variables, with applications in medical and clinical research.
R | C++ | Bayesian Statistics
R Package Hex Sticker
Engineered an automated QA pipeline in Docker to identify CT scan blood vessels with over 89% precision, optimizing model execution to run end-to-end in under 1 minute.
