What I'm looking for

I seek roles that let me apply AI/ML skills to solve real-world problems, valuing collaborative teams, strong safety culture, mentorship, and opportunities to grow from electrical field expertise into applied data science and machine learning engineering.

I am an experienced electrical supervisor with over 11 years in large-scale electrical construction, commissioning, and field engineering across oil & gas, refineries, and power plants, now transitioning into AI/ML. I combine hands-on expertise with formal training in AI, Generative AI, machine learning, deep learning, NLP, time series analysis and data science tools.

I have led electrical teams in high-risk environments, managed HV/MV/LV systems, performed commissioning and SAT activities, and maintained strict HSE compliance while delivering projects on time and within budget. I am a fast learner who applies analytical thinking to data problems and builds practical AI-driven solutions using Python, TensorFlow, scikit-learn and related libraries.
