ABOUT ME
15+ years in ML/AI/Data Science/Analytics projects at 100+ companies
15+ years in ML/AI/Data Science/Analytics projects at 100+ companies

I have unbeatable breadth of experience designing and shipping ML/AI/Data Science/Analytics systems for startups and Fortune 500s alike. Between founded companies, consulting projects, and a Caltech PhD, I've shipped work for over 100 organizations.

My skills range from low-level bit twiddling to high level concept, design, and communication with non-technical stakeholders.

I also have extensive experience in Product Design for ML/AI/DS systems, as well as go-to-market strategy for novel products in this space (I have founded and advised over a dozen such startups).

I've been using the Python ML/AI/Data Science stack more or less since it was invented. Ditto for AWS/Cloud systems/scripting work.

Demetri and I worked through some debugging and optimization techniques for a NLP part-of-speech tagging model, which is a graduate/PhD level project that requires more than just a mastery of some programming language and is typically too advanced for most tutors. Not only was Demetri able to spot the hidden bugs and assist with optimizing the algorithm, but he also patiently navigated my own clumsiness and brainstormed innovative ideas that enhanced the model. I highly recommend Demetri, and certainly hope to work with him again on future projects.

I hired Demetri to help finished a clustering project and he was an absolute wizard. He took my codebase and transformed it into a beautifully working script that will save my team and I hours of work each month. I can't recommend Demetri enough and I look forward to working with him again in the future.
