Full Stack
Data Scientist.
Architecting scalable data pipelines and deploying machine learning models into full-stack applications.
Hiya, I'm Richie!
I am a Full-Stack Data Scientist and Systems Architect focused on turning operational bottlenecks into automated, predictive ecosystems. Currently completing my MS in Data Science, I thrive in the space where heavy backend infrastructure meets advanced statistical modeling to deliver tangible, enterprise-wide value.
When I step away from the keyboard, I treat my hobbies with the same precision and creativity I apply to code. You can usually find me dialing in single-origin beans, engaging with independent cinema, or diving into my next speculative science fiction novel.
I am a learner, a doer, an explorer of a world hidden by the magnitudes of data.

Beyond the Code
"I hope that you were motivated by a desire for knowledge, a yearning to see what can arise from a universe's exhalation. Because even if a universe's lifespan is calculable, the variety of life that is generated within it is not."
— Ted Chiang, Exhalation
