Profile Summary

I deliver innovative skills and experience to generate tangible ROI—whether developing tailored machine learning systems, engineering deployed data and model pipelines, or clearly communicating insights to decision-makers. My award-winning work has been patented, licensed, and featured in dozens of technical publications and industry presentations. I am a senior-level data scientist and research engineer with 12+ years at NASA solving complex problems through cutting-edge, customized solutions. As a consultant, I bridge technical and operational needs—translating challenges into measurable, deployable solutions. I have a passion for using data to infer probabilities and applying these insights to quantify risks, identify anomalies, and generate stochastic model predictions with quantified uncertainty. Real-world decisions rely on probabilities, not absolutes. Do you have a real-world problem where one-size-fits-all solutions fall short? Put my experience and skills to work. https://www.jfadvancedanalytics.com/
