What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can ship production-ready ML and data pipelines, collaborate with a strong engineering team, and use cloud best practices to improve model accuracy and system reliability.

I’m a Certified AWS Solutions Architect and Machine Learning Engineer with proven experience building end-to-end machine learning pipelines and data-driven applications. Through mentorship and internships, I’ve delivered scalable analytics solutions using Python and R, while translating complex technical work into measurable business impact.

In my mentorship at Phoenix KE Analytics, I completed multiple data science projects, including exploratory analysis on 50,000+ records and predictive modeling that improved forecasting accuracy by 18%. I also helped refine data pipelines with a team of 5 analysts, boosting processing efficiency by 22%, and strengthened model accuracy through validation and feature engineering.

At Modus Chora Studio and in subsequent projects, I combined analytics with backend execution—building a Django system supporting 500+ transaction requests per day and improving ticket sales efficiency by 30%. I’ve also contributed as an LLM output tester and QA contributor, reviewing 500+ code snippets, documenting 150 logic/edge-case issues, and improving AI coding assistant accuracy by 25% through clear feedback and quality scoring.
