What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a position in Data Science or Machine Learning, with a particular interest in NLP and research-oriented work.

At USAWA CARE, I develop Python backend systems, data pipelines, and internal tools. I also design, implement, and evaluate AI agents, including their behaviour, outputs, and post-deployment performance.

I'm leading the development and validation of a Class IA AI medical device. I design databases and data models for reliable AI and software integration, and analyze data in Excel to support product decisions.

My MSc in Data Science and Advanced Analytics included research on Genetic Programming selection algorithms and projects in machine learning, deep learning, NLP, and text mining. I also developed Python pipelines and scientific visualisations using Gaia satellite data.
