What I'm looking for

I am seeking hands-on ML/DS roles where I can build and deploy predictive models, work with cloud tools, and deliver data-driven dashboards in collaborative teams.

I am a data scientist with a B.Sc. in Computer Science and practical experience across the full ML lifecycle, from data preprocessing and statistical analysis to feature engineering and model optimization.

I have built and productionized predictive models—using XGBoost, Random Forests, deep learning, and clustering—deploying them as FastAPI prediction APIs, containerizing with Docker, and integrating visualization with Power BI.

I specialize in creating effective prompts for AI models, translating complex data into actionable dashboards, and delivering scalable solutions on cloud platforms like Azure while collaborating effectively within teams.
