CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Machine Learning Engineer with over four years of experience in data science, machine learning, and MLOps. My expertise lies in designing NLP models using BERT and SpaCy, as well as predictive analytics with Python, TensorFlow, and PyTorch. I have hands-on experience with MLflow and Azure Databricks for model monitoring and registration, ensuring that my projects are both innovative and compliant with industry standards.
Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered actionable insights through SQL, Pandas, and various visualization tools such as Power BI and Looker. My strong collaborative skills have allowed me to drive product innovation through analytics and experimentation, particularly in fast-paced environments. With a background in oil and gas spanning 14 years, I bring regulatory expertise that enhances my ability to implement SOC 2-compliant practices in my work.
