What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build production ML/AI solutions, lead technical teams, and implement scalable data pipelines in collaborative, growth-focused environments.

I am a data scientist and AI engineer with three years' experience building scalable pipelines, predictive models, and AI-driven products using Python, SQL, R, Snowflake, Airflow, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. I lead cross-functional teams and drive end-to-end solutions from data ingestion to deployment.

At Exiger I led a team of seven analysts, ran 1:1s, sprint planning and design sessions, interviewed candidates, and contributed to revenue-generating client work by integrating structured and unstructured data into Snowflake and migrating workflows to a medallion architecture on Airflow and AWS EKS.

I build production-ready tooling including web scrapers (Playwright, Selenium, BeautifulSoup), Transformer-based NLP models (BERT, DeBERTa) for sentiment analysis and summarization, automation bots with UiPath and Power Automate, and a Flutter web app that leverages OpenAI APIs and Firebase to deliver practical AI solutions.
