About Me

Leveraging machine learning, statistical modeling, software development, and data engineering to solve complex business challenges.

Professional Profile

Hi, I'm Rick - a data scientist crafting scalable machine learning models and data automation pipelines

I am a Data Scientist and Computational Analyst with 10+ years of experience leveraging machine learning, statistical modeling, and data engineering to solve complex business challenges.

Currently, I am a Senior Data Scientist at Waystar, where I design and deploy machine learning models for forecasting, risk analysis, and operational optimization. Throughout my career at companies like Hyland Software and MRI Software, I have built automated ETL pipelines, designed predictive models, and developed analytical tools that bridge the gap between complex datasets and real-world business value.
