What I'm looking for

I seek roles building and validating analytics and GenAI systems where I can ensure correctness, governance, and clear instructional outcomes.

I am an applied data scientist with 5+ years of experience across financial analysis, applied research, and consulting-led AI automation projects. I design and validate data pipelines and analytics systems using SQL, Python, BigQuery, and Looker Studio to support operational and financial decision-making.

I build and integrate GenAI solutions — including RAG pipelines, document summarization, and AI-assisted workflows — while emphasizing correctness, governance, and reproducibility for regulated or data-sensitive contexts. I also evaluate model performance and refine analytical logic for clarity and accuracy.

I translate complex technical outputs into learner-ready explanations, validate course content and lab logic, and deliver instructional materials confidently on camera. My background blends analytics, teaching, and product-focused validation to help organizations deploy reliable, understandable AI and analytics solutions.
