About Me

Richard Jones

Hello! I'm Richard Jones — an Operations Specialist, Data Engineer, Data Analyst, and full-stack developer who thrives on harnessing data to push boundaries and drive efficiency. From large-scale operations and compliance to AI-driven solutions and real-time analytics, my background covers a diverse range of industries, including Banking, Government, and Freelance Consulting.

AI consulting and integration: connecting models, data, browser experiences, and business workflows into useful systems.

Optional supplemental career overview
Locally authored career context

This supplemental view adds context to the live Google Sheets timeline. Richard has worked across commercial technology, healthcare, government contracting, banking, legal technology, and independent consulting, moving between operations, analytics, engineering, and business delivery.

That range is the through-line: understand the operating problem, build the data and software around it, and leave people with a system they can actually use.

Uber - six years of lateral movement

Uber is shown as one connected company chapter so the progression is easy to read: operations foundation, analytics and systems, then global analytics work at exceptional scale.

Freelance Consultant - AI, Data Analytics & Business Development

Delivered projects across artificial intelligence, technical consulting, paralegal support, business development, branding, and full-stack web development.

  • Paralegal and legal-technology support: organized case materials, researched issues, interrogated complex documents with AI-assisted workflows, and helped clients synthesize evidence for their cases.
  • AI and analytics: red-teamed foundational models, improved prompt structures, built tailored machine-learning workflows, and created dashboards and data pipelines for decision support.
  • Technical and business delivery: built websites and custom tools, advised clients on cloud transitions, and developed branding, market research, and acquisition strategies.

Bank of America - Senior Operations Analyst

At Bank of America, I worked across fraud operations, forecasting, staffing, and process improvement. The role combined operational judgment with analytical systems work: making complex workflows measurable, improving coverage, and helping teams act on better information.

Meet Dom

I built Dom to make working with data a little more approachable. He's a small AI experiment, a guide to this page, and occasionally the reason it's raining hotdogs.

Ready to meet you
What can I try?

Activate Dom, then ask a short question or try making it rain hotdogs. Connect a public Google Sheet or use the sample data to explore his analytics tools. Keep requests small while I'm improving the model.

The chart button above works without downloading the model. It's a quick look at how his face is made.

What happens when I activate him?

Your browser downloads my trained model from Hugging Face, about 770 MB. After that, the model runs on your device rather than sending your prompts to a hosted chat service. The first load can take a while, and a capable computer will have an easier time than a phone.

Loading the model and connecting a public sheet still use the internet. Don't put private information in a publicly shared sheet.

Why does his face turn into charts?

I wanted the data to have a little personality. His eyes and mouth use Chart.js, the same library that draws the bars and trend line. He looks thoughtful while working and moves his mouth as his reply arrives. There's no voice yet.

What am I building next?

I plan to add voice and train Dom with more analytics tools, so he can help explore data and explain what he finds. Those are next steps, not features I'm claiming are finished.

He's still an experiment. He can get things wrong, so check anything important. I'd rather show you what I'm building honestly than pretend it's a finished product.
