Experimentation Platform Architect specializing in causal inference and high-velocity testing infrastructure at Fortune 100 scale. Led platform re-architecture that scaled test velocity 3→8/week and enabled $150M+ in revenue decisions through variance reduction (CUPED) and Bayesian experimentation.

Work Experience

Albertsons Companies

ActiveFeb 2024 – Present

Senior Data Scientist | Architecting AI-Powered Experimentation Systems

  • Architected an end-to-end Causal Experimentation Engine: Replaced manual workflows with a high-velocity pipeline scaling from 3 to 8+ experiments/week.
  • The Pipeline: Engineered a robust system: Test Configs (Experiment ID) → Automated Exposure Tables → 31+ Metric Aggregation → CUPED Variance Reduction → Bayesian Inference Layer.
  • Statistical Impact: Reduced standard error by 35%, compressing 28-day test windows into 12 days.
  • GenAI Integration: Deployed a GenAI Analyst Agent (SQL+RAG) and an Auto-Summary Agent, reducing post-experiment analysis from days to hours while cutting hallucinations by 60%.
  • Business Value: Validated $150M+ in annual strategic decisions across Pharmacy, Digital, and Private Brands.

Applied AI Research Lab

BuildingJan 2023 – Present

Principal Engineer & Product Builder

Founded an applied research lab to validate emerging Agentic and RAG architectures before enterprise deployment.

  • QuizBeef (700+ Users): Architected an AI quiz app utilizing LLM semantic parsing and FAISS vector retrieval for document comprehension; insights informed Albertsons' GenAI Copilot patterns.
  • mana-health: Developed a multi-agent health platform orchestrating specialized agents (physio, nutritionist) to process biometric and workout data.
  • Aligned: Built a dating app integrating astrology compatibility after market analysis revealed an underserved segment; demonstrates product-market fit analysis and consumer behavior insights.

Discover Financial Services

Aug 2022 – Oct 2023

Senior Data Scientist

  • $114M in annual loan volume by leveraging XGBoost analysis to prove employment verification added no predictive value, then executing an A/B test on low-risk segments that increased conversions by 300+ customers monthly.
  • $1.8M in loan approvals by identifying and resolving critical iOS bugs through funnel analysis on the Automated Loan Approval platform.
  • Improved customer segmentation model accuracy by 12% by integrating GCP TensorFlow and collaborating with ML engineering team.
  • Reduced infrastructure costs by 12+% by migrating legacy SAS workflows to modular SQL queries.

Kaizen
