What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my data skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on impactful projects that drive business decisions and enhance user experiences.

I am a curious and highly analytical Data Scientist with over 2 years of experience in machine learning, data wrangling, and statistical modeling. My journey has been defined by a commitment to using data to solve complex problems and support impactful decisions. I pride myself on being a critical thinker with a strong foundation in AI product management and data-driven storytelling.

In my current role as a Data Scientist, I have successfully built and deployed supervised models that predict user behavior and business trends with up to 90% accuracy. My experience includes conducting exploratory data analysis for fintech and retail projects, creating custom Python scripts for data preprocessing, and collaborating cross-functionally to align models with business goals. I am passionate about turning insights into real-world outcomes and thrive in environments that foster collaboration and innovation.
