What I'm looking for

I am seeking a data role where I can apply Python-based analytics and ML to drive measurable business impact, improve processes, and grow technically within a collaborative, data-driven team.

I am a data scientist with a strong analytical background in analytical chemistry and over five years of experience applying statistical analysis, machine learning, and data engineering to solve business and laboratory problems.

I have built automated reporting systems and predictive models across finance, manufacturing, and education—reducing reporting time, improving data quality, and enabling revenue and performance optimizations.

I work with Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn), visualization tools (Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly, Tableau) and SQL/Jupyter to convert raw data into actionable insights, and I seek roles where I can apply rigorous analysis, reproducible workflows, and domain knowledge in quality control and process optimization.
