About

I’m a Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Cash App. I was the first ML engineer working on Cash Card, our debit card offering. My team builds ML- and AI-powered products that keep Cash App’s banking and card products safe and power user-facing experiences used by millions.

Prior to this I was a Staff Data Scientist at BuzzFeed, where I built content recommendation systems and led its advertising data science discipline. Prior to that, I was a a Data Scientist at MLB Advanced Media and a Solutions Consultant and Automation Engineer at Google.

In my free time I enjoy working on my Python package pybaseball, writing the Baseball IQ baseball analytics newsletter, and staying up to date on machine learning systems, statistics, sports, and any combination of those things.

I earned my B.A. in Economics at Boston College, where my studies focused on statistical modeling, machine learning, data engineering, and quantitative social science. My research at this time focused on natural language processing and predictive methods in the social sciences.
