Hi, I'm Darren! I'm a techno-optimist who’s passionate about using AI/ML methodologies to solve real-world problems. Currently, I'm a Forward Deployed AI Engineer at StackAI in New York, where I direct AI implementations and build RAG pipeline infrastructure for enterprise clients. Alongside my work, I completed my Master of Science in Data Science at New York University, where I was honored to be a Warner Music Group Fellow.

Before diving deep into AI engineering, which recently included building LLM-based agents as a data engineer at NBCUniversal, I spent a couple of years in Washington, D.C., as a Business Data Analyst at Mathematica. There, I developed predictive models to forecast revenue trends and evaluate business metrics. My foundation for all of this comes from my time at Georgetown University, where I graduated in May 2022 with dual degrees in Mathematics and Public Policy.

When I'm not at my keyboard, you can usually find me playing tennis, cooking, exploring new cuisines, traveling, or building community. I'm always eager to connect with others who share a passion for data, so feel free to reach out! 📊
