What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build predictive ML systems on Azure, automate pipelines and reporting, and ship practical web-enabled insights. I value scientific rigor, fast iteration, and using data to improve decisions in complex real-world operations.

I’m a Physical Engineer and M.Sc. in Physics who turns data science and artificial intelligence into operational results. I design, deploy, and monitor intelligent, machine-learning-based, and serverless solutions—especially with Microsoft Azure—and I build predictive models that support better decision-making in complex environments.

In my recent work, I automate end-to-end ML pipelines to predict extraction costs by combining mining truck GPS telemetry, historical SAP financial data, and topographic files. I also build outage prediction solutions using OMS (HxGN InService) data and weather forecast APIs, integrate Azure OpenAI to generate analyses for technical management, and streamline workflows by automating reporting in Power BI and developing internal web applications that reduce field report time by 45 minutes daily.
