Architecture

Data platforms, pipelines, and ML systems designed to be maintained — not just demoed.

Design

Problem framing, feature strategy, model selection, and evaluation design before code.

Development

Production implementation: pipelines, models, APIs, and the tests that keep them honest.

Testing

Data validation, model QA, backtesting, and failure-mode analysis.

Evaluation

Metrics that match the business decision — offline, online, and everything between.

Deployment

Serving, monitoring, retraining loops, and handover to your team.

Ways to work together

Advisory

A senior pair of eyes on your roadmap, architecture, or model — a few hours a month.

Project

A defined outcome with a fixed scope: a model shipped, a pipeline built, a study completed.

Embedded

Hands-on work alongside your team for a season — building capability, not dependency.

Frequently asked questions

What does an engagement look like?

Every engagement starts with a short discovery call to frame the problem. From there we agree on a scope — advisory, a fixed-scope project, or an embedded period — with written deliverables and a timeline.

Do you work with early-stage companies?

Yes. Much of the practice is helping small teams make their first serious data or ML investment count — choosing the boring, correct option over the fashionable one.

Can you help with regulated or scientific domains?

Yes. Bioinformatics, genetics, biomarker discovery, and drug repurposing are core domains, with 25+ years of experience bridging medicine and machine learning.
