WORK HISTORY
Senior Data Scientist @CenterPoint Energy
Houston, TX, US
Designed geospatial feature-engineering pipelines aggregating weather, environmental, and utility asset data into a centralized feature store for storm-related outage modeling.(GCP-SQL)• Built outage risk models (Random Forest, XGBoost) on engineered features, applying class-imbalance handling, sampling strategies, ensemble methods, and hyperparameter tuning.(Python and GCP-SQL)• Collaborated with reliability engineers and operations teams to translate outage modeling into actionable storm-preparedness and resiliency insights.• Productionized outage models in BigQueryML with daily forecast-based predictions and automated daily prediction accuracy evaluation.(GCP-SQL)• Built risk-scoring frameworks across greater-Houston-area electric grid to help prioritize infrastructure upgrades (undergrounding, pole upgrades, IGSD deployment).(GCP-SQL)• Designed a BFS-based search algorithm to identify highest-fire-risk connected circuit spans and parallelized execution across 1,800 circuits using Google BigQuery Workflows.(GCP-SQL, yaml)
