Assistant Director, Data Visualization | AI & Analytics Enthusiast | Atlanta, GA

With 20+ years in data visualization, business intelligence, and predictive analytics, I help organizations turn complex data into actionable insights. I’ve led BI modernization, cloud analytics, and strategy for healthcare, retail, and Fortune 100 enterprises — and I’m currently expanding into AI/GenAI solutions to bridge business intelligence with the next generation of machine learning.


Here are some projects I’ve worked on and shared on GitHub (or elsewhere):

  • PADDLE: Predictive Analytics and Data-driven Decision Learning Engine A comprehensive framework demonstrating advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics capabilities on large-scale datasets. PADDLE showcases state-of-the-art machine learning and optimization techniques for solving real-world business problems.

  • Prompt Library A collection of prompts that I’ve discovered that produce great results, free to use and share.
