SEEKING CONTRACT WORK - Forward deployed engineer, remote, email in profile. Location: West Coast, remote only.

I'm a forward-deployed engineer. My background is 15+ years of data science, but I focus on solving problems. I work in messy, ambiguous, regulated environments. Often at a client's site, inside their systems and their data. I excavate unmapped data, learn how the team works, and ship tools that stay in production.

Deployed and still running today: Legal clause extraction and validation; site corrosion detection and management; routing and predictive-maintenance systems that stayed in service.

I compress engineering, data, and modeling into one function, owned end to end. I show up, figure out what needs to be built, and make it work.

Tooling: ML/AI, LLMs, and the engineering around them: evals, determinism, observability, guardrails. The tech is just a tool, The hard part is knowing what to build.

If you have a messy, ambiguous problem that needs someone who can embed and ship, my email is in my profile.

EDIT: Corrosion detection so people don't think I detect rust code. (Nothing wrong with that though)
