Production ML Systems

Models that don't just work in notebooks — they work at scale.

End-to-end machine learning systems from data ingestion through model serving. I build pipelines that handle real-world data messiness: missing values, schema drift, concept drift, and the thousand edge cases that break demo-quality code.

Capabilities

  • Supervised & unsupervised model development
  • Feature engineering pipelines (200+ features automated)
  • Model validation, A/B testing, and statistical significance
  • Ensemble methods and model stacking
  • Real-time and batch inference architectures
  • Model monitoring and automated retraining triggers

What You Get

  • Production-deployed model with CI/CD pipeline
  • Feature store or feature engineering documentation
  • Model performance dashboard with business KPI mapping
  • Monitoring alerts for drift and degradation
  • Technical documentation and team handoff guide
Tools: Python scikit-learn XGBoost LightGBM PyTorch Polars DuckDB

Recommendation & Personalization

Turning customer data into revenue-generating decisions.

I architect recommendation engines that go beyond "customers also bought." Using Learning to Rank, behavioral modeling, and real-time signals, I build systems that understand customer intent and optimize for business metrics — not just accuracy scores.

Capabilities

  • Learning to Rank (LTR) for product/content ranking
  • Next Best Offer (NBO) engines for cross-sell/upsell
  • Collaborative + content-based hybrid approaches
  • Real-time behavioral signal processing
  • Multi-armed bandit for exploration vs exploitation
  • Customer segmentation and micro-targeting

What You Get

  • Deployed recommendation API with <50ms p99 latency
  • A/B testing framework with automated winner selection
  • Business impact report (CTR, conversion, revenue lift)
  • Personalization rules engine for marketing teams
  • Scalable infrastructure documentation
Tools: Python LightGBM GCP BigQuery Redis Airflow Docker

Computer Vision & Image Analytics

Industrial-grade visual intelligence from pixels to decisions.

From satellite imagery analysis to manufacturing defect detection, I build computer vision systems that work in production conditions — not just curated benchmark datasets. Specializing in remote sensing, object detection, and semantic segmentation.

Capabilities

  • Object detection (YOLOv5/v8, Detectron2, Faster R-CNN)
  • Semantic and instance segmentation
  • Multi-spectral and hyperspectral image processing
  • Transfer learning and domain adaptation
  • Edge deployment optimization (ONNX, TensorRT)
  • Geospatial analysis with GDAL/PostGIS

What You Get

  • Trained model with validation metrics on your data
  • Inference pipeline (batch + real-time)
  • Data augmentation and labeling strategy
  • Edge/cloud deployment configuration
  • Performance benchmarks and optimization report
Tools: Python Detectron2 YOLOv5 ResNeXt OpenCV GDAL PostGIS

MLOps & Cloud Architecture

The infrastructure that makes ML reliable, repeatable, and observable.

A model that can't be deployed, monitored, or retrained is a research project. I build the operational backbone that turns ML experiments into production systems: automated pipelines, model registries, monitoring dashboards, and CI/CD for machine learning.

Capabilities

  • End-to-end pipeline automation (Airflow, Vertex AI Pipelines)
  • Model versioning, registry, and artifact management
  • CI/CD for ML (automated training, validation, deployment)
  • Feature stores and real-time feature serving
  • Model monitoring (drift detection, performance degradation)
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation)

What You Get

  • Fully automated training → deployment pipeline
  • Monitoring dashboard with custom alerting rules
  • Runbook for common operational scenarios
  • Infrastructure documentation (architecture diagrams)
  • Team training on pipeline operations
Tools: GCP AWS Docker Airflow MLflow Terraform GitHub Actions

NLP & Conversational AI

Making unstructured text actionable — at scale.

From automated customer service agents to sentiment analysis pipelines, I build NLP systems that understand context, handle ambiguity, and integrate with your existing workflows. Modern LLMs are powerful, but production deployment requires careful engineering.

Capabilities

  • RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines
  • Conversational agents (Dialogflow, custom LLM stacks)
  • Sentiment analysis and opinion mining at scale
  • Named entity recognition and information extraction
  • Text classification and topic modeling
  • Automated feedback analysis pipelines

What You Get

  • Deployed conversational agent or NLP pipeline
  • Knowledge base / vector store with ingestion pipeline
  • Evaluation metrics and quality benchmarks
  • Integration documentation for existing systems
  • Continuous improvement feedback loop
Tools: Python Dialogflow Gemini LangChain Pinecone BigQuery

Data Strategy & Team Building

Building the foundation before building the models.

Sometimes the right answer isn't a model — it's better data infrastructure, clearer metrics, or a more capable team. I help organizations build data-driven cultures from the ground up: from CDP architecture to hiring and mentoring data scientists.

Capabilities

  • Customer Data Platform (CDP) architecture
  • Data maturity assessment and roadmap
  • KPI framework design and metric definition
  • Data team hiring, mentoring, and skill development
  • Data governance and quality frameworks
  • Executive-level data literacy programs

What You Get

  • Data strategy document with prioritized roadmap
  • CDP architecture design and implementation plan
  • KPI dashboard with business-aligned metrics
  • Team skill assessment and development plan
  • Governance policies and quality standards

How We Can Work Together

Three engagement models. Pick the one that fits your situation.

Project-Based

Defined scope, fixed deliverables. Recommender systems, CV pipelines, MLOps infrastructure.

2–12 weeks

Fractional Consulting

Ongoing strategic advisory. Architecture reviews, team mentoring, data strategy.

Part-time, retainer

Full-Time Strategic Hire

Senior/Lead Data Scientist or MLOps Architect role. Remote-first preferred.

Long-term

How I Approach Every Project

Principles that guide my work — not just technical practices, but engineering philosophy.

Production-First, Not Research-First

Every model is built with deployment in mind from day one. Latency constraints, data pipeline integration, monitoring requirements, and failure modes are designed in — not bolted on later.

Measure Everything, Assume Nothing

I don't claim a model "works" without quantified evidence. Every deliverable includes performance metrics mapped to business KPIs. If I can't measure the impact, I'll tell you upfront.

Document for the Next Person

Code without documentation is technical debt. Every project includes architecture diagrams, runbooks, and handoff guides — because the person maintaining this system might not be me.

Simplicity Over Cleverness

I choose the simplest solution that solves the problem. A well-tuned XGBoost model that's explainable and maintainable beats a black-box deep learning model that nobody can debug.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about services, pricing, and working together.

How do you price your services?

Project-based engagements are scoped and quoted upfront after a discovery call. Fractional consulting is on a monthly retainer. I don't bill hourly — I bill on deliverables and outcomes. You know the cost before we start.

What if my project needs skills outside your listed capabilities?

I'll tell you upfront. I'd rather refer you to the right person than pretend I can do everything. That said, the overlap between my listed capabilities is intentional — most real projects span multiple areas.

Do you work with startups or only enterprises?

Both. Startups get the same production-grade engineering as enterprises, just scoped appropriately. A seed-stage company building their first ML feature needs a different approach than a Fortune 500 optimizing an existing pipeline — but the engineering quality is the same.

Can you work with our existing data team?

That's the ideal scenario. I embed with your team, transfer knowledge throughout the engagement, and leave them with the skills and documentation to maintain what we build together. I'm not trying to create dependency.

Not Sure Which Service You Need?

That's normal. Most projects span multiple areas. Let's have a 30-minute discovery call and I'll tell you exactly what's feasible — and what it'll cost.
