No Cold Handoffs: Logic, controls, validation, evidence, and interpretation travel together.
Senior analytics and applied data science leader with 16+ years of experience across Wells Fargo, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the U.S. Census Bureau.
I combine hands-on SAS, SQL, Python, PostgreSQL, longitudinal consumer-credit analytics, and applied data science with enterprise data strategy, governed decision systems, model and data validation, and executive advisory leadership. My work connects business and regulatory requirements to source-data lineage, analytical methodology, decision logic, implementation controls, monitoring, exception evidence, and controlled operational follow-through.
At Wells Fargo, I was promoted from Vice President to Executive Director while serving as principal analytical architect for Consumer Auto programs exceeding $1B in exposure and customer impact. My experience includes CPI analytical-system governance from 2018–2025, leadership across 15+ additional remediations, and enterprise controls spanning 500+ submissions and 100M+ account-month furnishing actions.
At the OCC, I supported 16 economists and examination teams with longitudinal consumer-credit data, survival and logistic modeling, life-of-loan PD and CECL analysis, credit benchmarking, alternative-data engineering, and published research support. Earlier, I modernized federal statistical production and validation at the U.S. Census Bureau.
My public portfolio demonstrates how those disciplines translate into merchant-financing strategy, enterprise credit decisioning, survival modeling, forensic data quality, reconciliation, regulatory remediation, model and data validation, Power BI release assurance, and executive-ready analytical evidence.

| Core philosophy | Transparent logic, traceable evidence, controlled execution, and no cold handoffs |
I integrate fragmented data, independently managed processes, and cross-functional requirements into governed analytical environments that support consistent execution and reliable executive decisions.
I design transparent rule, policy, strategy, and treatment frameworks with configurable parameters, account-level outcomes, reason codes, exception states, monitoring, archives, and certified consumption boundaries.
I develop interpretable frameworks connecting segmentation, survival and hazard modeling, scenario design, cross-validation, calibration, model diagnostics, sensitivity analysis, and stakeholder evidence.
I apply independent recalculation, benchmark and challenger analysis, source-to-target reconciliation, matched-population comparison, UAT, sensitivity testing, model diagnostics, exception management, and effective challenge.
I translate complex analytical and operational evidence into concise risk/fact/options narratives covering the issue, dependencies, customer and control implications, recommendations, required decisions, and follow-through.
I connect requirements, methodology, population logic, code, validation evidence, execution artifacts, decision records, controls, ownership, and implementation across independently accountable teams.

A deterministic, synthetic PostgreSQL 15 enterprise platform for merchant sales-based financing tied to daily point-of-sale activity and sales-linked repayment.
The platform begins before application—with acquisition sources, campaigns, touchpoints, attribution, and merchant-acquisition cost—and extends through merchant operating evidence, cash-flow capacity, resilience, risk, comparative loss, unit economics, eligibility, pricing, counteroffers, final-offer authorization, simulated activation and operating states, servicing, reconciliation, portfolio analytics, strategy comparison, optimization, and enterprise G3 certification.
The build is designed as an integrated decision system rather than a collection of disconnected scripts. Requirements, parameters, source lineage, business logic, controls, validation, evidence, interpretation, and ownership remain connected at every boundary.

This GitHub portfolio is a public proof layer for enterprise data strategy, governed analytics, applied data science, model and data validation, and decision-system architecture.
The repositories are not isolated notebooks or dashboard-only demonstrations. Each independently developed system pairs code with some combination of:
- enterprise architecture and code-flow documentation;
- business, analytical, and data requirements;
- controlled parameters and strategy configurations;
- deterministic synthetic or anonymized demonstration data;
- BRDs, validation summaries, and QA evidence;
- reconciliation and exception outputs;
- UAT scripts and acceptance checks;
- reason-code and decision-path evidence;
- run registries, immutable archives, and consumption contracts;
- acquisition, attribution, merchant-CAC, and unit-economics evidence;
- executive summaries, presentations, and reviewer paths;
- Power BI release validation and application-level traceability;
- technical runbooks and operating guidance.
The repository organization reflects the documentation, validation, version-control, and operating-model discipline I applied in regulated financial-services and federal environments.

A system is not complete when the code runs or the output is produced.
A system is complete when the relevant stakeholders can understand:
- what question was being answered;
- which data were used;
- how the logic operated;
- which assumptions and parameters mattered;
- how the output was tested;
- which controls were applied;
- what exceptions remain;
- what decision is required;
- how the result should be implemented;
- how ownership and follow-through will be maintained.
Data integrity before modeling
Lineage before inference
Validation before reliance
Strategy testing before implementation
Reason codes before unexplained outcomes
Reconciliation before closure
Executive interpretation before action
Documentation before handoff
The objective is not complexity for its own sake. It is analytical work that is transparent, reproducible, governable, and useful.
I also use generative AI as a controlled accelerator for synthesis, narrative development, presentation refinement, documentation, and risk-control ideation—while retaining source verification, human judgment, and accountability.
All public repositories use synthetic, anonymized, or demonstration data.
These projects do not expose:
- customer or personally identifiable information;
- employer-owned code;
- production credit policy;
- proprietary remediation rules;
- confidential model inputs;
- regulated operational pipelines;
- internal systems or restricted documentation.
The repositories are designed to demonstrate transferable methodology, enterprise architecture, validation discipline, governance, documentation quality, and executive communication in a public setting.
