Hola 👋

MS Applied Data Science @ University of San Diego

I'm a data science graduate student with hands-on experience across NLP, time series, computer vision, and generative AI. I care about building things that are usable and evaluated honestly, not just technically interesting. I tend to gravitate toward smaller teams, unstructured data problems, and the kind of infrastructure work that makes everyone else's job easier (shared data pipelines, documented functions, reproducible workflows).

Focus Areas

  • End-to-End ML Pipelines - ingestion, feature engineering, model building/eval, monitoring
  • Natural Language Processing - Topic Modeling, schema and annotation design, TF-IDF, vector embeddings
  • Time Series - ARIMA/SARIMA, scenario forecasting, external regressors, decomposition and diagnostics Medium
  • Transformers/Generative AI — RAG, LLM integration, agentic workflows, HuggingFace ecosystem, vector databases
  • Evaluation & Implementation — Doesn't matter how cool something is if it doesn't work and/or can't be integrated
