work

  1. 2023 — present Lexington, KY

    Software Engineer

    Bluegrass Integrated Communications

    • Reduced customer and production data processing time by 46% by building an event-driven pipeline that ingests and consolidates data from multiple internal sources.
    • Automated document and layout generation by developing a placeholder-based templating system used across internal workflows.
    • Engineered middleware to validate, enrich, and cross-reference customer submissions with internal production databases.
    • Maintained operational continuity by building a GUI tool with manual override capabilities and error handling for failure scenarios.
  2. 2021 — 2022 Alexandria, Egypt

    Software Developer

    Vortex Academy

    • Built and programmed ROV mobility systems using C++ and Arduino, contributing to a first-place competition finish.
    • Developed Python-based algorithms for technical and competitive programming challenges.
    • Designed, tested, and iterated on ROV subsystems to improve reliability during competition scenarios.
    • Implemented computer vision functionality to support object detection and navigation tasks.

systems & engineering

// 01

Adaptive ML pipelines

Designed online feature pipelines with 200+ engineered signals and past-only transformations to maintain consistency between historical and live inference.

// 02

Regime-aware model adaptation

Built drift-triggered retraining using PSI and historical state analysis so models adapt automatically to changing distributions.

// 03

46% faster production workflows

Reduced processing time by 46% through event-driven architecture and consolidation of fragmented internal systems.

// 04

Model observability & diagnostics

Engineered monitoring systems for calibration drift, prediction collapse, gradient health, GPU usage, and failure recovery.
