Additional capacities where I deliver: develop responses to RFPs (<$15M), develop thought leadership on various data science-related topics, manage data scientist direct reports, partner with vendors on technical architecture opportunities, facilitate monthly meetings for a data science region (~150 data scientists), support opportunities/contract staffing, and am chief of staff for regional AI project contract reviews.

  • Developed and implemented an machine learning operations (MLOps) framework (deploy, execute, monitoring, reporting and feedback) for a major O&G client Analytics COE; includes managing multiple deployed MVPs, facilitating workshops on platform integration capabilities, analytics portfolio prioritization, documentation standards, and developing governance.
  • Direct response to the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space and Technology: designed and operationalized signal condition monitoring logic to identify, detect, and classify SCADA time series signals where methane gas is directly released into the atmosphere for 1500 O&G wells; integrated into enterprise surveillance system, detects a ~100 events daily where events have been manually detected at ~180 per year.
  • Designed and operationalized multivariate survival models and dashboard to create a risk scoring system and ops dashboard(s) to support maintenance prioritization for $100M in annual maintenance spend; Monitored for 18 months for performance drift, coefficient changes, data leakage, regressions in estimation. 
  • Advisor/Presenter to a client's data literacy program for 3 years (~350 engineers). Coached 15 engineering teams on applying data analytics and machine learning to domain specific engineering problems; won a corporate global excellence award (finalist #4 of 100), I won the "Top Instructor and Mentor" Award.
  • Enhanced optimization model for a client which provided decisions on what path of wells multiple maintenance vehicles should take to minimize lost production, minimize cost of service, and maximize NPV per well; integrated into SOP.
