What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and opportunities for professional growth.

I am a data scientist with a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, specializing in predictive analytics and machine learning. My journey in data science has equipped me with a robust skill set, including developing custom NLP models and optimizing ETL pipelines for large-scale data. I have a proven track record of translating complex business needs into actionable insights, enabling executive-level decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have held key roles at leading organizations, including IBM and Parkland Fuel Corporation, where I created predictive models for fraud detection and customer purchasing patterns. My experience as an independent consultant has further honed my ability to design analytics strategies and mentor junior team members, fostering a collaborative environment that drives innovation and efficiency.
