I am a Senior Data Science Engineer at DraftKings in Boston, MA. Previously, I was a Data Scientist and Team Lead at MORSE Corp in Cambridge, MA where I primarily built data pipelines utilizing Python and Pyspark to process, transform, and aggregate machine learning outputs to evaluate model performance. Previously, I was a researcher at Colorado School of Mines where I completed a Master of Science in Geology (May 2021) and published my research.

My graduate work focused on quantifying the multi-scale vertical and lateral heterogenity of thin-bedded turbidites from sea-cliff outcrops in California. My undergraduate work was on soil trends from the Karoo Basin, South Africa and their relationship to Permian-Triassic climate change.
