What I'm looking for

I am looking for a fully remote role in data science or analytics that fosters innovation and supports organizational growth through evidence-based strategies.

I am a driven data scientist with over three years of experience in developing and deploying data-driven and AI solutions across various sectors, including health, sustainability, and workforce development. My insatiable curiosity and creative analytical skills have enabled me to build statistical models, deploy machine learning algorithms, and conduct advanced statistical analyses that support data-backed decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have built over 10 interactive dashboards, optimized ETL workflows, and improved operational efficiencies by up to 40% through real-time data monitoring. I have managed datasets exceeding 10 million records and collaborated with cross-functional teams in fully remote and startup-agile environments. I am passionate about continuous learning and actively stay up-to-date with best practices and innovations in data science and machine learning.
