I apply AI not as a buzzword, but as a tool to solve real problems — across marketing, financial services, education, logistics, workforce transformation, and strategic growth. From RAG pipelines to machine learning and GenAI use cases, I build systems that think and scale.
I build systems, roadmaps, and models that help other strategists lead smarter — from executives planning growth to analysts driving activation. I’m the strategist behind strategists.
Featured Projects
Predictive Marketing Intelligence Dashboard (Tableau + Machine Learning)
- Designed a fully interactive Tableau system that merges marketing analytics with machine learning–powered foresight, transforming static dashboards into dynamic strategic tools.
- Integrated Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Linear Regression models to predict partner performance and contextualize KPIs through Holistic Scoring: a multidimensional metric capturing effectiveness across awareness, spend, and creative mix.
- Built a What-If Scenario Simulator allowing marketers to explore the impact of changing budgets, creative mix, or ML model selection in real time, turning analysis into experimentation.
- Developed a Predictive Leaderboard and Regional Performance Map that visualize over/underperformance, model confidence, and ROI opportunities across markets.
- Demonstrated how AI benchmarks outperform static, retroactive reports by delivering context-aware, adaptive, and actionable insights for budget optimization and media planning. [Read Article on the Dashboard]

Multi-Real Estate Dynamic Pricing & Market Strategy Simulator (ML + Multi-Agent + GenAI)
- Built an interactive Streamlit app that lets users test “what-if” scenarios for the housing market and see impacts by ZIP code. The engine combines a Ridge pricing model with a lightweight multi-agent market sim (buyers, sellers, analyst) plus GenAI narratives for plain-English insights.
- Data & Quality: Upload CSV or generate synthetic data; schema coercion, basic PII scrubbing, quick EDA (price, sqft, beds).
- Modeling (Ridge): RidgeCV training with error metrics (MAE/RMSE), coefficient explainability, residual diagnostics.
- Scenario Simulator: Adjust interest & unemployment, overlay distributions, ZIP deltas (bar + geo map), save/compare scenarios, shareable URL presets, JSON import/export.
- Agents: Configurable buyer cohorts & seller policies; market clearing over steps; KPIs (price path, volume, sell-through, price-to-ask, time-on-market) with CSV/JSON downloads.

Multi-Agent AI Marketing & Business Intelligence System
- Developed a Streamlit-based AI system for a Texas bookstore using orchestrated LLM agents for analytics, segmentation, recommendations, and marketing tasks
- Designed modular agent architecture (BI, Product Expert, RFM Segmentation, Recommendation, Email Writer) with dynamic supervisor routing
- Created an intuitive UI with interactive Plotly dashboards (sales, genre trends, customer segments)
- Built robust preprocessing (e.g., Unicode normalization) and error handling for query stability and system resilience
- Demonstrated end-to-end application of multi-agent systems, NLP, RFM analytics, and operational intelligence

AI-Powered Business Intelligence Copilot (Streamlit + LLM + SQL Integration)
- Developed a Business Intelligence Copilot that uses large language models for real-time analytics and decision support
- Integrated OpenAI, LangChain, and SQL to enable natural language querying across multiple databases
- Designed a Streamlit interface with dynamic Plotly visualizations, multi-database routing, and robust error handling
- Extended the system to include a domain-specific (bike sales) database with custom prompts and tailored charts
- Demonstrated applied skills in LLM orchestration, RAG techniques, prompt engineering, and data storytelling
