About

I’m a lead data scientist with over five years in data science and engineering, embedded on an operations team at a large company. “Embedded.” I sit between the business, data software engineers, and statistics PhDs, and speak all of their languages. I design and build the things those people need, from prediction models across dozens of sites to document intelligence pipelines to the data infrastructure underneath all of it. If something I do makes the team or the company stronger, it’s a good day.

Before data, I ran continuous improvement at a manufacturing plant as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. That background shows up in how I think about problems. Process first, then tooling. If you can’t draw the workflow on a whiteboard, writing code for it won’t help.

The throughline in the site, my work, my personal life, is a style of thinking. I look at a system, figure out how it actually works (often different from what it says it does), and then build something precise for the gap I find. Different applications, same thought.

Since July 2026, home is France, the Metz area. I married my French husband in May and made the move that summer.

Experience

  • Supply chain data scientist (tech lead), 2023–2026. Analytics for a national grocery supply chain, about 35 distribution centers: document intelligence, fleet and freight analytics, and the data platform underneath.
  • Senior supply chain analyst, 2020–2023. ETL pipelines and reporting on warehouse operations data.
  • Continuous improvement leader, 2018–2020. Lean Six Sigma at a manufacturing plant.

Background

  • MS in Statistics, California State University, Fullerton (2020)
  • MBA, California State University, Long Beach (2017)
  • BS in Mathematics, University of California, Irvine (2012)
  • Lean Six Sigma Black Belt

Day to day I work in Python, PySpark, Databricks, and SQL, deploy with Terraform, and track models with MLflow.

Languages: English (native), French (B1).

What I write about

Projects, mostly. Things I’ve built, things I’ve figured out, things that didn’t work the way I expected. The common thread is probably “we’ve gotten from 0 to 1, how do we get to 1000?” Sometimes that’s a neural net to find Puss in Boots in movie frames. Sometimes it’s six batches of tempeh trying to get the incubation right.

The professional stuff I can talk about tends to be at the intersection of ML and operations. Document processing, prediction, NLP applied to places you wouldn’t normally think to use it. The personal projects are where I test ideas without a deadline. NLP, food science, Arduino, computer vision.

En Français

Je me suis marié avec mon mari français en mai 2026, et depuis juillet nous habitons près de Metz, en Lorraine. Je parle français au niveau B1. Mon prochain but est de passer l’examen DELF B2, pour lequel je travaille dur.

J’écrirai sur les projets que j’ai faits (et que je fais maintenant) pour atteindre cet objectif, dont un dictionnaire verbal, des fichiers pédagogiques, et un logiciel de production orale. J’aime quand mes capacités se renforcent mutuellement, que ce soit dans la vie professionnelle ou personnelle.

N’hésitez pas à me contacter. J’ai hâte de faire votre connaissance.
