What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role in data analysis or AI/ML where I can apply Python, R, and data-visualisation skills to solve real-world problems and grow technically.

I am a data-focused AI enthusiast with a strong academic background in mathematics and postgraduate study in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I combine formal training with practical experience in Python, Pandas, and R-Studio to deliver reliable data analysis and preprocessing.

Throughout my studies and projects I have demonstrated teamwork and leadership, notably contributing to a university group project on climate change by analysing carbon sequestration rates using R-Studio. I completed a Level 4 Data Analyst Bootcamp where I sharpened skills in data visualisation, storytelling with data, and statistical programming.

In professional roles I have experience in data annotation and quality assurance for AI at Data Annotation.tech, where I rate and annotate AI responses, check code functionality, and review peers' work to maintain high quality standards. Earlier roles in retail and hospitality developed my customer-facing, time management, and mentoring abilities.

I am motivated by problem solving, critical thinking, and exploring how machine learning can be applied in creative domains such as video games. I seek opportunities to apply my technical skills in data analysis and machine learning within collaborative, growth-oriented teams.
