Mathematician · Cyber Operator · ML Builder

I build things that make the math accessible without making it wrong.

Tabular ML Lab

Courses I Teach


What I'm About

I've spent my career moving between theory and application — quantum optics at MIT Lincoln Lab, offensive cyber operations at the 780th MI Brigade, and now teaching statistics at West Point. The thread connecting all of it: taking methods that are theoretically sound but practically inaccessible, and building tools so other people can use them correctly.


🧪 Current Focus

A research workbench that turns CSV uploads into publishable ML papers.

Upload your data → 10-step guided workflow → compilable LaTeX manuscript with auto-generated methods, results, and discussion skeleton.

18 models with per-model preprocessing · SHAP explainability with bootstrap CIs · Sensitivity analysis proving your results aren't fragile · Adaptive EDA with PCA, UMAP, and topological data analysis · Report generator that writes your methods section from your actual workflow decisions

The app does the mechanical work. You provide the domain expertise no tool can fake.


📐 Research

  • Vision Transformers on Satellite Imagery — student-led paper comparing ViT/DeiT/DINO for conflict prediction.
  • TDA-APT — privacy fingerprinting via topological data analysis.
  • Applied Statistics Education — designing curriculum for West Point's Advanced Applied Stats course.
