Data engineer

I build dependable data pipelines, warehouse systems, and machine-learning models—and use statistics to understand when they work. At CCS, I help put SaaS and AI solutions into use for client teams.

At CCS, I help get
good ideas out the door.

My title is Business Intelligence Analyst. I help put SaaS products and AI automation into use across U.S. client work.

California Creative Solutions

CCS

Business Intelligence Analyst
Current role

I lead SaaS rollouts, AI automation, and data warehouse initiatives across multiple U.S. client engagements. I bring business needs together with the data, people, and workflows that make each solution useful.

A closer look / My approach

There’s a lot between
data and done.

Tap through how I work: start with the right question, build on dependable data, and make sure the result earns its place in the real world.

The start / Ask a better question

What would make this useful?

Before choosing an approach, I want to understand the decision, the people making it, and the shape of the problem. That keeps the work pointed at something that matters.

Work I’m proud of.

Some active. Some from earlier chapters. All built around real problems.

End-to-end transit SaaS01
Data engineering & ML integration · CCS

Transit Operations

An end-to-end SaaS platform for transit operators, bringing data ingestion, alerts, agency workflows, and reporting into one solution. I lead data engineering and ML integration, helping power the product for multiple transit companies with different operating needs.

Inside the platform

The platform brings feeds and day-to-day transit operations into one place: data is ingested and shaped for use across alerts, reporting, and agency workflows. Its shared SaaS foundation supports different operators without treating every deployment as a new build.

LiveGood

I worked on health-metric models and predictive insights, while improving Python and SQL pipelines behind the analysis. The work connected cleaner data with clearer, more useful views in Tableau.

What I worked on

Modeling and data preparation went hand in hand: improve the quality of the data, build health-metric models, and make patterns easier to explore in Tableau.

Founding Machine Learning Engineer

The Blue Box

I helped define the core AI algorithm for an early breast-cancer screening device, translating electronic-nose sensor patterns into a signal-classification approach. I also worked on CNN–LSTM models, GAN-based data augmentation, and the inference workflow.

My part of the work

I was a founding AI engineer, shaping how sensor readings could be prepared, modeled, evaluated, and carried into an inference workflow. The device remains in development; this is research work, not a diagnostic claim.

PFAS, mapped.

At Olivares Lab, I built AI and data workflows for PFAS distribution analysis—processing over one million data points and making the results easier to explore in Tableau.

PythonRAI & dataTableau
What the work covered

I helped turn a large environmental dataset into an analysis workflow and a more approachable way to inspect spatial patterns, connecting data preparation, modeling, and visualization.

A few other stops
along the way.

Healthcare, health tech, computer vision—each one gave me a new kind of data to untangle.

Machine Learning Intern · Sep–Dec 2024

LiveGood Inc.

Health-metric models, cleaner pipelines with Python and SQL, and predictive insights in Tableau.

Data Science Research Intern · Jun–Sep 2024

UCI Health

Healthcare ETL on AWS, burn-severity modeling, and an AI patient-support chatbot using Llama.

Machine Learning Engineer · 2021–2023

Strategic Alliance

Computer vision for passenger detection and social distancing, plus high-volume data pipelines with Apache Spark.

04 / The short version

Data in.
Good decisions out.

I’m a Business Intelligence Analyst at CCS, with a computer science background and a Master’s in Data Science from UC Irvine. I’m also a proficient data engineer and statistician: I’ve led data warehouse initiatives, built dependable ETL pipelines, and implemented multiple ML models. I care about why a model works, where it can fail, and whether it improves the decision.

My work spans data engineering, statistical modeling, and applied ML. Across Azure, AWS, Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric, I build dependable pipelines and warehouse-ready data, then develop and evaluate models with Python, SQL, Spark, and PyTorch.

Outside work: guitar, travel plans, and following the occasional “wait, why does that happen?” rabbit hole.

01 / Make data behave

Data engineering & warehouses

ETL/ELT, warehouse design, data quality, and analytics-ready pipelines.

02 / Find the pattern

Statistics & ML

Statistical modeling, model selection, evaluation, and interpretation—from time series to deep learning.

03 / Cloud & data platforms

Cloud & data platforms

Azure, AWS, Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric across modern data workloads.

04 / Models into practice

Engineering & implementation

Python, SQL, Spark, PyTorch, and Docker—from model development to dependable workflows.

05 / Off the clock-ish

Still me.
Fewer spreadsheets.

Pick a card. It’s a tiny peek at the person behind the pipelines.

Guitar / practice mode

The enthusiasm is concert-ready. The chord changes are still loading.
