Why this page exists
Instead of sending a résumé PDF, I built you a page.
After talking with Jaime, I wanted to show how I think and build — not just tell you. So here it is: who I am, why Target is a company worth building for, and exactly where I'd add value. Everything below is real. I made this in one sitting, the same way I ship everything.
Who I am
Production automation platforms, data pipelines, and AI agents — architected end to end and shipped fast.
I design and run autonomous AI agents and ML pipelines that do real work — the exact wave Target's Advanced AI teams are riding.
A doctorate in environmental engineering — compliance, water, and sustainability fluency that connects straight to Target Forward.
A company worth building for
I did my homework — because if I'm going to give a company my best work, I want to know its story.
George Draper Dayton opens the Dayton Dry Goods Company in Minneapolis — the foundation everything grew from.
The very first Target store opens in Roseville, Minnesota — a new idea in retail: upscale discount, done with taste.
Headquartered in Minneapolis, Target serves guests through nearly 1,900 stores across all 50 states, powered by more than 400,000 team members — under a purpose of helping all families discover the joy of everyday life.
Why Target
A culture that invests in its team members and treats care as strategy, not a slogan — the environment where I do my best work.
A serious sustainability commitment. My environmental-engineering background isn't a footnote here — it's directly relevant.
Target is investing hard in technology, data, and AI at real scale. That's exactly the frontier I've spent years building on my own.
A company measured by how it shows up for families and communities — values I want the work of my hands attached to.
Where I fit
I've looked at where Target is hiring. Here's the honest map of where I'd contribute on day one.
Applied ML, LLMs, and agentic systems are what I build daily. I'd ship, not ramp up.
End-to-end: from model to platform to the pipelines that keep it running in production.
A PhD-level modeler who also writes the code — supply-chain optimization, forecasting, decisions at scale.
Where Target Forward meets real engineering — the rare seat my doctorate was made for.
Thank you, Jaime — for the conversation and for opening the door. I'd be grateful for the referral, and I won't waste it.
