I’m a Data Scientist delivering applied ML and decision-support analytics for measurable business impact.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Data Scientist with experience delivering applied machine learning, advanced analytics, and decision-support systems across startups and digital platforms.
I build and deploy predictive models that support automation, forecasting, and operational decision-making, and I translate metrics into executive-ready dashboards with Power BI and Tableau.
I also deliver classification and clustering models for admissions analytics and customer segmentation, and I run A/B testing and feature analysis to measure model performance and business impact.
Beyond production work, I’ve led applied data science training—mentoring learners on real-world projects with strong problem framing and experimentation—and I’ve built ML prototypes using regression, classification, and deep learning with TensorFlow and PyTorch.
