What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead ML-driven data platforms that turn raw data into reliable, business-ready reporting and insights—working closely with stakeholders and mentoring teammates to improve pipelines and outcomes.

I’m a Principal Data Scientist at Oracle, designing and maintaining large-scale data pipelines for statistical analysis and machine learning modeling. I collaborate with data scientists and stakeholders to translate data needs into solutions, and I build comprehensive data strategy to enable reporting and business analytics.

Earlier, I served as a Professor of Computer Science, teaching Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms & complexity, and Discrete Mathematics. My PhD work focused on machine learning approaches for pattern recognition on HIV genetic data, where I implemented multiple ML frameworks in Python and delivered results with biological implications, and I continue to bring that research rigor into production-focused analytics.
