Past roles include search engineering and retrieval research at OpenSource Connections and experimental data pipelines in biotech, where he built visualization-first analyses and dashboards for discovery. Known as a "CLIP whisperer," he pairs practical product impact with clear uncertainty-aware decisioning ("illuminating data decisions as intervals"). Based in Charlottesville, he brings a rare cross-disciplinary perspective—biotech experimental rigor applied to modern search and embedding systems.
