I build things that work, and I can sit in the room and explain them. Products, tools, and systems from idea to production, deployed alongside the people who use them.
01. about
Who I Am
I'm Jack, a builder who sits at the intersection of product thinking, technical execution, and the conversation that connects the two. I'm most at home when I'm embedded with a customer: scoping the real problem, picking the right stack, and getting something live in front of them.
My background spans both the business side and the code side, with a FinTech concentration at Northeastern and now a Master's in Data Science at Boston University. I've built automation pipelines, BI reporting, web products, and more. The kind of stuff where you own the whole thing, not just one layer. I care less about titles and more about whether the thing works and the person across the table trusts it.
Outside of building things, I'm drawn to how technology actually changes how people work, not the hype but the real shifts. I'm also a steak-cooking aficionado, a corporate basketball league champ, and someone who reads too much about things he doesn't need to know.

Corporate Projects
client and employer work, under NDA but here's the gist
DocuSearch
1st Place · i3 AI HackathonS&P Global · Automation Manager
Led a team of developers and subject-matter experts to take 1st place at the i3 AI Hackathon, selected over 400 teams and 1,000+ participants by a panel of C-suite judges. The winning product: a full-stack LLM-driven document search tool, originally a Flask web app on the internal Spark API with bulk DOCX ingest, similarity scoring, WebSocket progress, and parallel processing. Later re-architected as a custom RAG pipeline on Databricks that ingests, parses, and semantically indexes 1,000+ equity and multi-asset methodology documents, enabling natural-language search, variant detection, and automated editing at scale.
Atlas
ConfidentialS&P Global · Automation Manager
Led the build of a full-stack application that centralizes ETF launch and workflow tracking across the org. Replaced fragmented trackers and email threads with a single source of truth, saving ~20 hours a week across 200+ global stakeholders and giving leadership real-time visibility into every launch in flight.
P/E Valuation Pipelines & Dashboards
ConfidentialAlvarez & Marsal · Forward Deployed Engineer, Private Equity
Launched a Power BI dashboard and end-to-end ETL system serving private equity clients including General Atlantic, Silver Lake, and Patient Square Capital, credited with ~$1M in revenue impact by deepening data analytics for equity client services. Built and maintained the pipelines in Python and SQL with dbt, AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3), and Airflow orchestration, landing the data in Snowflake for Power BI to sit on top.
Valuation Collection Automation
ConfidentialAlvarez & Marsal · Forward Deployed Engineer, Private Equity
Replaced the manual valuation-request workflow (thousands of emails and Excel attachments each quarter) with an automated intake system. Power Apps forms collect responses from PE firms, Power Automate routes follow-ups by portfolio company and file urgency/type, and every submission lands in Snowflake. Cut quarterly completion time by ~60 hours.
Sales Intelligence Dashboards
ConfidentialOctus (formerly Reorg) · Business Intelligence Developer
Built dynamic Power BI sales dashboards that supported the achievement of a $118M business target, with optimized SQL queries running against 100M+ data points in Snowflake. Also designed and ran A/B testing on Reorg's new bankruptcy algorithm features and UX, with feedback that drove higher client adoption of the product.
