Work
Present
Bain & Company Atlanta, GA
Senior Manager, Data Science & Machine Learning Engineering
Mentored team members on a variety of topics including advanced Python and SQL, object-oriented programming best-practices, specific machine learning techniques, and client interaction. This enabled team members who were interested in, but lacking the skills to do, technical work to contribute to client-ready codebases
Managed the professional development and well-being of my direct reports and team members including detailed objective setting, performance reviews, continual feedback, and team fun
Created and executed workplans for fast-paced, multi-month engagements to build complex analytical systems with applications in business domains ranging from personalized marketing to supply chain optimization. These workplans resulted in complex products being delivered on time, within budget, and while maintaining team sustainability
Negotiated difficult client situations while balancing client requirements along with my team’s sustainability and growth goals to create a positive experience for both the client team as well as my team
Designed proven high-impact machine learning solutions for clients while incorporating strategic business priorities, timeline and budgetary constraints, resourcing constraints, as well as technical limitations. These solutions were extremely well-received by executive client leadership and I was requested personally to continue the growth of these products and to train the client team on them
Built effective machine learning models in a range of industries including financial services, consumer products, retail, restaurants, and media. These models drove tens of millions of dollars in bottom-line value to the client organizations
Wrote well- structured and documented code to extract and load data, transform the data, train machine learning models, deploy the models, and host containerized user-facing applications within the client’s production environment
Recognized a process inefficiency and proceeded to develop, deploy, and maintain a React-based application to manage staffing across our global team. This application was heavily adopted within our team by 150+ team members and streamlined the process of identifying free and suitable team members for staffing to new projects
Developed multiple internal Python libraries and frameworks that are helping our global data science team be more effective in current and future engagements. These libraries utilize core software principles including OOP, graph-based dependency scheduling, and parallelization of compute-intensive tasks
Presented technical concepts and business impact to clients ranging from junior developers all the way through C-level executives
Served as a global technical team champion for rolling out and instilling best practices for the use of Git, GitHub, and AWS
