Professional Experience

Independent Software Developer & Researcher
Self-Employed • Philadelphia, PA • 2026 - Present
  • Architected and deploying a full-stack Knowledge Management and Debating web application serving live traffic via Apache on a Linux VPS.
  • Engineered the backend using FastAPI and Python, ensuring low-latency data retrieval and robust API integration.
  • Developed a highly responsive frontend using NextJS and modern JavaScript frameworks.
  • Managed end-to-end infrastructure, including server provisioning, multi-domain management, network security, and database architecture.
  • Conducted continuous independent research into mathematical psychology, metaphysics, and complex systems modeling. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19058514
AI Data Scientist
Chubb (insurance) • Philadelphia, PA • 2020 - 2025
  • Developed the Python ML backend of a timeseries anomaly detection web app, now being used across 3 regions for Business analytics and financial risk management.
  • Designed and developed a Root-Cause Analysis module for KPI timeseries anomalies relying on XGBoost predictive modeling and SHAPley values.
  • 2+ years of heavy cross-functional communication with UI, Business stakeholders, and IT teams to deliver two high-impact analytics products into production, while securing Business and leadership buy-in. The total company budget for both projects was around USD 30M.
  • Developed and maintained a Django web app for human labeling of webtext. The collected labels were used to fine-tune a Bert model used in production. The whole system is saving the company hundreds of hours of underwriting time per year.
  • Setup the job and tracking infrastructure on Databricks and MLFLow to run experiments for an Operations Research project. Setup the CI pipeline for IT handoff.
  • 4+ years of end-to-end predictive model building for the insurance industry (GLMs, XGBoost).
Mathematics Educator
French Agricultural High School • France • Late 2025 - Early 2026
  • Instructed secondary students in foundational and advanced mathematics during a 6-month, purpose-driven teaching engagement.
Postdoctoral Researcher
University of Pennsylvania • Philadelphia, PA • 2018 - 2020
  • Designed and ran a human Psychophysics experiment investigating temporal information filtering in perceptual decision making.
