What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a data scientist with over three years of professional experience, specializing in machine learning, optimization algorithms, and data-driven decision-making. I hold a Master’s degree in Energy Systems and Data Analytics from University College London and a Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Surrey. My work at Digital Buildings Ltd. has been pivotal in developing and implementing advanced machine learning models that enhance operational efficiency in the UK domestic property and energy sectors.

Throughout my career, I have focused on delivering high-impact solutions that drive strategic growth. My expertise in automation, data pipeline development, and predictive modeling has allowed me to create scalable complex linear models supported by SQL databases and integrated with front-end applications via APIs. I thrive in both remote and on-site environments, bringing a data-first mindset and a commitment to innovation to every project I undertake.
