What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build production ML/AI systems, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable business impact in data-driven product environments.

I am a Lead Data Scientist with nearly nine years of experience building AI applications, predictive models, and scalable data pipelines to drive measurable business outcomes. I specialize in audience creation, low-latency systems, and production ML that directly improves revenue and efficiency.

At Samsung R&D I built an agentic AI application for audience creation that reduced creation time by 95%, developed models to predict household age demographics and ad-auction win probabilities, and scaled audience segmentation by 30% to boost ad revenue. I also redesigned extraction pipelines to reduce storage footprint from 320 PB to 100 PB while maintaining data integrity.

I combine strong engineering with applied research—deploying PySpark, Streamlit, Snowflake, and real-time inference systems—while emphasizing collaboration, feedback-driven optimization, and delivering solutions that translate into significant revenue and operational improvements.
