Machine Learning Model Development — Builds traditional ML models (classification, regression, anomaly detection) from proof of concept through production, with rigorous feature engineering and validation.
Production ML Ownership — Owns the full model lifecycle: deployment, performance monitoring, drift detection, and retraining, partnering with engineering to productionize within Bestow’s platforms.
Statistical Rigor & Judgment — Applies strong statistical fundamentals and critical thinking, forming an independent point of view and questioning results before sharing them broadly with stakeholders; knows when a model is (and isn’t) the right tool.
LLM & Agentic Systems Development — Builds LLM-powered and agentic applications (prompting, retrieval, tool use, evaluation) with the monitoring and human oversight a regulated industry requires.
Data Product & Self-Serve Enablement — Builds and drives real adoption of dashboards, natural-language interfaces, and agentic tools that let non-technical stakeholders self-serve.
Production Engineering (Python & SQL) — Writes production-grade Python and SQL with version control, code review, testing, and CI/CD; comfortable in cloud data warehouses like BigQuery.
Stakeholder Communication & Requirements Translation — Translates business questions from non-technical stakeholders into models and tools they can actually use, and builds enough business acumen to spot where data science work can create new opportunities, not just answer what’s asked.
Ownership & Follow-Through — Acts as a self-starter: identifies opportunities and pursues them without waiting to be told, scopes their own work, and drives it through to real adoption.
Team & Communication Fit — Works well within Bestow’s collaboration norms: written-first, async-friendly communication, offering suggestions and recommendations that influence outcomes, comfort giving and receiving direct feedback, and maintaining a positive, professional attitude even under disagreement.
AI Competency — Directs AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor)
