Experience
Generative AI Data Scientist
2000 - Present
Generative AI Data Scientist
Cloud Computing Technologies

As a Generative AI Data Scientist at Cloud Computing Technologies (2000–Present), I lead the development and deployment of scalable machine learning models and generative AI solutions within secure cloud-native environments. My work spans end-to-end AI lifecycle management, from data ingestion and training pipelines to deploying custom LLMs using Amazon Bedrock, AWS SageMaker, Databricks, and other AWS-native services. I specialize in building real-time inference systems, fine-tuning foundation models, and integrating AI into enterprise-grade applications for industries such as healthcare, finance, and cybersecurity.

Leveraging advanced natural language processing (NLP) and transformer architectures, I design AI-driven systems that power intelligent automation, chatbots, document summarization, and insight generation. I have successfully led projects that implement generative AI workflows using tools like LangChain, Pydantic AI, Vector Databases, and serverless architectures on AWS Lambda. My expertise includes optimizing AI pipelines for cost efficiency, performance, and regulatory compliance, including secure data handling in FedRAMP and HIPAA-sensitive environments.

In addition, I bring advanced experience with Databricks, having architected and deployed a secure, FedRAMP Moderate-compliant Databricks E2 platform on AWS. My work includes implementing Databricks MLOps pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform, and integrating Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and Databricks Feature Store to support scalable, compliant AI/ML workflows. I have developed AI-powered analytics solutions for healthcare using TensorFlow, Python, and Spark R, while ensuring end-to-end security monitoring with Splunk and maintaining FISMA and NIST compliance standards.

In my current role, I also actively collaborate with DevOps, data engineering, and cloud security teams to integrate AI/ML models into production environments. I lead efforts in optimizing performance, ensuring regulatory compliance, and embedding AI-driven functionality across platforms. My responsibilities also include mentoring team members and staying ahead of advancements in foundation models, prompt engineering, Pydantic for data validation, and autonomous AI agents that power scalable, cloud-native solutions.

Driving enterprise-scale generative AI adoption, I leverage Amazon Bedrock and AWS SageMaker to build and deploy custom LLMs and multimodal AI agents that address industry-specific challenges in finance, healthcare, government, and legal sectors. By integrating foundation models with advanced fine-tuning pipelines, I enable organizations to accelerate AI agent adoption while maintaining cost efficiency and compliance with frameworks such as FedRAMP, HIPAA, and NIST. My solutions use Bedrock for rapid prototyping of generative AI capabilities and SageMaker for production-grade training, hyperparameter optimization, and managed model hosting, ensuring that enterprise AI strategies are future-proof and scalable.

Production Manager / Photolithography, Etch, Implant & Metals
1997 - 1999
Production Manager / Photolithography, Etch, Implant & Metals
Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector, MOS 5

As Production Manager for Photolithography, Etch, Implant, and Metals operations, led high-volume semiconductor manufacturing within a Class 10 cleanroom environment supporting *advanced discrete and integrated circuit fabrication*. Oversaw end-to-end wafer processing across critical front-end and back-end process steps, ensuring strict adherence to contamination control, safety, and quality standards, including QS-9000 quality system requirements, for sub-micron semiconductor manufacturing.

Directed cross-functional production teams responsible for photolithography alignment and exposure, plasma and wet etch processes, ion implantation, thin-film deposition, and metallization. Drove yield, throughput, and cycle-time performance through close coordination with process engineering, equipment engineering, and quality organizations. Utilized statistical process control (SPC), manufacturing execution systems (MES), and data-driven manufacturing metrics to monitor work-in-progress (WIP), identify defect trends, and resolve yield excursions in 24x7 fab operations.

Supported technology transitions and new product introductions (NPI) by coordinating pilot runs, process qualifications, and production ramp activities for microcontrollers, sensors, and semiconductor devices serving automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics markets. This role required deep hands-on knowledge of semiconductor fabrication workflows, cleanroom operations, process integration, and high-reliability manufacturing environments—experience directly aligned with Arizona’s modern semiconductor ecosystem, advanced fab operations, and automotive-grade quality expectations.
