About
Data scientist building machine learning systems for industrial applications. I work across the full stack — from raw sensor signals and time-series feature engineering to deep learning models, LLM-powered tooling, and explainable AI for high-stakes decisions.
My focus is making complex models trustworthy and useful in production: predicting failures before they happen, estimating remaining useful life, and turning black-box predictions into something engineers can actually act on.
Focus Areas
Predictive Maintenance & PHM
Building data-driven systems that watch industrial assets in real time — catching failures before they happen, estimating remaining useful life on , and turning raw sensor noise into actionable health indicators for maintenance teams.
Machine Learning & Deep Learning
End-to-end ML systems for sequential industrial data — from feature engineering on raw signals to fine-tuning time-series foundation models on domain-specific corpora, with production deployment across modern data-platform stacks.
Large Language Models
Applied LLM engineering — retrieval pipelines with vector search and hybrid retrieval, structured generation with schema validation, multi-agent orchestration with tool use, and evaluation harnesses that hold up when language models do real work.
Explainable AI
Making model outputs interpretable for the engineers who act on them — SHAP-based feature attribution, counterfactual explanations, CAM-guided subsequence selection for multivariate time series, and decision-support dashboards that surface the why behind each prediction.
Stack
Currently
Working on industrial AI projects — prognostics, LLM-powered tooling, and applied research with a clear path to production.
