What I'm looking for

I am seeking a data- or ML-focused role where I can apply quantitative modeling, build production-grade pipelines, collaborate in Agile teams, and grow technically while contributing to impactful, product-oriented solutions.

I am a mathematics graduate with hands-on experience in machine learning, software development, and data analysis, combining academic training with practical internship experience. I have built NLP models, time-series forecasts, and interactive dashboards while contributing to production-grade Java and Python systems.

During internships I resolved production bugs, wrote unit tests, built APIs, and created data pipelines using MongoDB and Python, while leading ML projects like speech recognition and fake-news detection. I also led teams in open-source and campus initiatives, scaling data collection and developing dashboards with Power BI and R Shiny.

I thrive in collaborative, Agile environments and have led operations and data-science teams for student organizations, coordinating large volunteer efforts and community-impact programs. I am disciplined, detail-oriented, and seek roles where I can apply quantitative skills to build reliable data-driven products.
