About

ML engineer with hands-on experience taking a Gaussian Process Regression-based intelligent survey timing system from build to real-world deployment, including a 3-week RCT on 120 participants and measurable improvements (15% response rate, 23% data quality). Also served as a key technical resource at CData for customer-facing demos and debugging hundreds of production issues, bridging engineering with Sales and Customer Success.
