Python/AI Developer | AI Transformation & Platform Lead
Nov 2025 — Present

Serve as a Python and AI developer with functional leadership responsibility across AI adoption, platform architecture, document intelligence, machine learning, and AI-assisted software delivery. Played a leading role in ATA's transition toward an AI-native operating model, helping establish the onboarding, policies, technical practices, and workflows needed to integrate AI into daily work across engineering, QA, product, and leadership.

  • Helped lead company-wide AI adoption by developing onboarding materials, contributing to responsible-use policies, supporting employees as they integrated AI into their work, and establishing practical patterns for agent-assisted engineering and decision-making.
  • Architected and maintained Python, Nix, and container-based services supporting AI, ML, and automation workloads, improving environment reproducibility and reducing deployment and configuration issues.
  • Built document-intelligence pipelines using Python, Tesseract, AWS Textract, and structured extraction workflows, eliminating manual processing for selected document classes and achieving more than 90%+ extraction accuracy.
  • Designed supervised ML models for form classification and field mapping using Label Studio and Extra Trees, improving automated mapping accuracy by approximately ~40% over the previous approach.
  • Owned the architecture and implementation of an AI-assisted QA automation framework that increased automated test coverage to 80% and reduced regression defects by 50%.
  • Evaluated custom ML pipelines against managed AWS services to assess scalability, maintainability, implementation effort, and long-term cost; presented build-versus-buy analysis to leadership.
  • Helped introduce prose-first, agent-assisted workflows across engineering, QA, product, and leadership, contributing to faster delivery, clearer documentation, and an estimated $250K+ in annual engineering and QA efficiency gains.
