What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead end-to-end ML projects, apply MLOps best practices, and partner with business teams to deploy impactful, explainable models at scale.

I am a Senior Data Scientist with four years of experience delivering end-to-end analytical solutions, from feature engineering to production deployment.

I have led strategic projects such as customer clustering and pricing segmentation at large organizations, and engineered high-precision time-series forecasting solutions with a 2% MAPE.

My technical focus includes Python, PySpark, Databricks, Azure Machine Learning, MLOps practices, and deployment automation; I have migrated and deployed dozens of production models and implemented CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment time by half.

I combine domain-driven analytics, rigorous data quality and EDA, and explainable AI techniques to create actionable models that integrate with business rules and improve decision-making.
