What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can apply my data science skills to solve real-world healthcare challenges and contribute to meaningful projects.

I am an experienced professional in the healthcare sector, currently transitioning into data science. With a strong foundation in genetics and biotechnology, I have honed my skills in Python, SQL, machine learning, and data visualization. My passion lies in leveraging data to drive impactful healthcare solutions, and I am known for my critical thinking, collaboration, and quick adaptability.

In my recent role as a Business Process Lead at Tata Consultancy Services, I successfully achieved 98% data accuracy and a 90% reduction in processing time by implementing automation in data workflows. My experience includes conducting data-driven evaluations for drug stability and developing predictive models for election outcomes using advanced machine learning techniques. I thrive in cross-functional teams, ensuring compliance with protocols while proactively sharing best practices.

With a Master’s in Data Science from Deakin University and a PGP in Data Science and Business Analytics from Texas McCombs University, I am well-equipped to tackle complex data challenges. I am eager to contribute my expertise in data analysis and machine learning to drive innovation in the healthcare industry.
