About Me

I build and deploy proof-of-value ML applications on AWS and Azure — for existing customers, pre-sales demos, and internal research into new markets. I own the path from incomplete industrial data through EDA and model tuning, and I work with Product on the NobleVIP roadmap, including a self-serve Model Builder and an agentic data-synthesis capability.

• Led a de novo molecular-design program for flame retardants in low-loss semiconductor and EV uses — about $1.25–1.75M in estimated customer value, 2–3 years of R&D time saved, and 3 patent applications for the customer on new FR chemistries
• Shipped a synthetic-data app (React / TypeScript + FastAPI) that cut demo-dataset turnaround ~5× for the Solutions team
• Technical lead across $1.34M ARR, including shelf-life forecasting for a top-10 packaged-foods company

I was the technical owner on materials-informatics contracts — from experimental design through executive readouts that won renewals and expansions. I also stood up internal research (active-learning benchmarks, structurally constrained generative design) and a lightweight Dash app for model performance and explainability, and advised lab scientists and R&D leaders on adopting ML.

• Drove technical success across ~$2M ARR of customer contracts
• Lead technical contributor on three photoresist Pareto-frontier breakthroughs via active learning, including a 20% drop in lithography roughness versus the customer’s prior best
• Led the data-science team’s interactive visualization suite for model QA and explainability

Published December 2023. This Arkema application covers a method for making a 3D-printed carbon-bonded composite article — part of the photopolymer and composite printing work I did in Sartomer technical service. I am a co-inventor on a team of nine.

Published September 2022. Co-invented with S. Nunez. The application describes a route to glycerol carbonate (meth)acrylate and curable compositions built on that monomer — chemistry aimed at 3D-printable and other light-curable resin systems for best-in-class performance.

Patent published July 2022; granted June 10, 2025 as U.S. Patent 12,325,768. Co-invented with W. Wolf. The application covers light-curable cyanoacrylate compositions for forming composite materials — the formulation side of the carbon-fiber and photopolymer printing work at Arkema.

I sat between formulation chemistry and customers: designing high-performance 3D-printable photopolymers to compete with engineering plastics, and building a structure–property ML system that predicted mechanical, thermal, and rheological behavior from composition and process settings. I was technical lead on polymer materials for a carbon-fiber composite printing method aimed at aerospace, automotive, and energy parts, and I helped stand up data-management standards for the group’s formulation and property databases.

• ML system for resin performance from chemistry and processing conditions
• Technical lead on carbon-fiber composite 3D-printing materials
• Contributing inventor on three U.S. patent applications

First industry role after graduate school: I owned environmental compliance for the hydrogen peroxide plant — wastewater-treatment performance, troubleshooting, and state and federal permits — and project-managed capital work including tank-farm secondary containment, storm-water piping, and waste-minimization projects.

• Environmental compliance and permit performance for plant operations
• Wastewater treatment monitoring and troubleshooting
• Capital projects: containment, storm water, and waste minimization
