What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply data analytics, AI training, and automation to improve educational outcomes, collaborate cross-functionally, and scale data-driven solutions.

I am a STEM specialist and data analytics professional with over five years' experience in data, computational modeling, and educational content development. I combine a strong foundation in physics and mathematics with practical skills in SQL, Python, and automation to deliver accurate, scalable workflows.

I have led curriculum design for 20+ high-school and college-level science courses, developed 100+ lesson plans, and implemented AI-driven automation that improved standardized test outcomes. I have also trained and fine-tuned LLMs for science domains, curated high-quality annotated datasets, and reviewed AI-generated scientific content for accuracy.

As a consultant and freelancer I perform ETL, create dashboards in Tableau and Power BI, and build automated workflows using Make.com and n8n. I am detail-oriented, analytical, and committed to improving educational and business outcomes through data-driven strategies.
