What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production ML/GenAI systems with opportunities to own model deployment, automate DBA workflows, and deliver measurable operational impact in collaborative teams.

I am a data scientist with a strong foundation in AI and machine learning, building and deploying models including neural networks and classification systems to drive measurable efficiency gains.

I have hands-on experience across production databases and DB administration, having worked with Oracle and PostgreSQL, supported backup and recovery operations, and participated in on-call rotations handling alerts and incidents.

I designed and implemented an LLM-powered DBA automation chatbot that securely connects to databases, executes dynamic SQL, and provides interactive diagnostics, achieving approximately a 70% reduction in manual DBA effort.

I have developed predictive maintenance systems using ANNs with 92% accuracy, implemented RAG pipelines and GenAI integrations, and continue to deepen my expertise through a Master’s in Data Science while contributing to impactful projects and hackathon-winning solutions.
