SEEKING WORK | Data Scientist / Consultant | Canada/Remote Worldwide

I'm a data scientist with over 20 years of experience specializing in solving hair on fire problems. I thrive on gnarly problems AI can't complete even if walked through the problem step-by-step. Often it involves getting hands on or talking with staff to find the data that's really needed.

My past work includes:

   - Saving a German automaker from lemon law recalls.
   - Helping a major cloud vendor predict server failures to enable load shedding.
   - Real-time on demand routing logistics work .
   - Airline flight delay forecasting.
   - Oil & Gas forecasting.
   - Shipping piracy risk.
   - Wound identification and classification.
   - Revenue optimization, persona identification and dynamic "risk-on/risk-off" risk management for ARM.

I'm currently working on (semi) automating the DS loop, building workflows on top of BMAD method AI workflows. I say semi, because some problems you simply must get out of the office and speak with people or find data the AI doesn't have access to. Many problems will have e2e solves in an automated fashion.

Things I'm unwilling to work on:

   - Gambling.
   - Ads/Surveillance.
   - Payday loans/rent-to-own.

Get in touch if you have a really difficult problem you're trying to solve. Email in profile.

Hi there! I'm Vivian. I'm a software engineer with 5 years of experience across full-stack web and desktop application development.

At Intel, I led a small team to ship a new hardware component framework for Platform Designer, an electronic design automation tool used by all of Intel's FPGA customers. One concrete win: improved UI response time by 9.8x by profiling 150+ API methods to find opportunities for optimizations.

At a recent early-stage startup, I refactored custom field creation to be database-driven rather than JSON file-based, so business could create fields directly, without waiting on engineering.

I'm looking for a strong engineering team where I can own problems end-to-end.

I'm Phil and I have a PhD in computer engineering, specializing in operations research: mathematical optimization (MILP, etc), constraint programming, and others. For the past several years I've implemented custom, production-ready solutions for a variety of problems (scheduling, routing, and so on). Recent work includes a constraint programming solution for goal-based selection of indexes in Postgres, a heuristics-based scheduling tool used in hundreds of vehicle workshops around the world, and an optimization model used for scheduling autoclave cycles in a drug manufacturing facility. I'm also open to freelancing.
