Financial Technology, where he builds production AI systems for complex financial\-document workflows\. His strengths include end\-to\-end AI automation, OCR and computer\-vision pipelines, validation layers, machine learning, MLOps, and stakeholder\-focused delivery\. David has led an AI automation project that reduced weeks of manual PDF\-parsing work to 95% automation while handling complex financial documents and addressing context limits through reliable extraction and independent validation signals\. He takes ownership from discovery and stakeholder engagement through SDLC implementation and pre\-production handoff, with a focus on building durable, production\-grade agent systems with memory and autonomy rather than one\-off demonstrations\. Previously, David was an AI Engineer at RentFlow, a YC S24 company, and a Machine Learning Engineer at MeltTools, where he worked on deep learning for computer vision\. Earlier roles at Parker Hannifin included Manufacturing Engineer and Engineering Intern\. David holds an MS in Data Science from the University of Michigan and a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Western Michigan University\. ## Services - Supervised Learning - Unsupervised Learning - Reinforcement Learning - Predictive Analytics - Data Analytics - Computer Science - Data Engineering - Causal Analysis - Segmentation - Object Detection - Keras - Deep Learning - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - Computer Vision - MLOps - Machine Learning - Data Science - TensorFlow - Python \(Programming Language\) - MySQL - JavaScript - AutoCAD - Autodesk Inventor - Cascading Style Sheets \(CSS\) - Programmable Logic Controller \(PLC\) - HTML - Microsoft Excel - PowerBi - Continuous Improvement - Multitasking ## Highlights - Led an end\-to\-end AI automation project that reduced weeks of manual PDF\-parsing work to 95% automation for complex financial documents\. - Built production AI systems using OCR, vision models, and validation layers for complex document processing\. - Addressed context limits in complex financial\-document workflows through reliable extraction\-system design\. - Used independent validation signals to support accuracy in financial\-document processing\. - Won analyst buy\-in for AI automation by demonstrating time savings\. - Owns AI delivery from discovery and stakeholder engagement through SDLC implementation and pre\-production handoff\. - Focuses on durable, production\-grade agent systems with memory and autonomy rather than one\-off demos\. - Serves as Senior AI Engineer at U\.S\.
