About Kent Bourgoing
I’m an Engineering Consultant at Yorke Engineering and a recent graduate of UC Berkeley’s Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) program. I’m transitioning into Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, and Applied AI roles, and I enjoy turning real problems and messy, complex data into practical solutions people can use.In my graduate work, I built and delivered end-to-end machine learning and data science projects, including:• A legal research MVP (Wolters Kluwer capstone) using a knowledge graph and GraphRAG tools• NLP detoxification pipelines with evaluation and re-ranking• A production-grade sentiment API deployed on AWS EKS with autoscaling and caching• Scalable ML pipelines using Spark/Databricks on large datasets• A randomized field experiment with causal impact measurement• A time-series forecasting project (atmospheric CO₂), focused on trend/seasonality modeling and forecast evaluationAt Yorke, I lead air quality compliance and permitting work for 100+ facilities, combining structured analysis with clear client communication. My main areas of focus include applied machine learning, NLP and LLM applications, experimentation and causal inference, time series, and ML deployment. My technical toolkit includes Python, SQL, R, Spark, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and FastAPI.Feel free to connect or message me. I’m always happy to meet people working on data, ML, and applied AI problems.
