Senior Data Scientist · Amazon · Seattle

Building systems that help teams make better decisions.

I work at the intersection of causal inference, experimentation, and generative AI — designing the methods and pipelines that turn data into product direction.

What I work on

Causal Inference

Estimating the true effect of decisions — not just correlations. DoubleML, synthetic control, uplift modeling.

GenAI Systems

Building and evaluating LLM pipelines that hold in production. Multimodal evaluation, LLM-as-Judge, vector search.

Experimentation

Designing A/B tests that actually change roadmaps. Power analysis, CUPED, guardrails, and when not to experiment.

Writing

Practice, written down.

Background

9+ years at Amazon — from BI engineer to Sr. Data Scientist. I've shipped experimentation platforms, causal inference pipelines, and end-to-end GenAI evaluation systems. This site is where I document what I've learned.
