I approach every project with creativity and a perfectionist mindset, ensuring that I deliver high-quality results.

In my current role as an Executive - Statistical Analyst & AI at Nawaloka Hospitals PLC, I have successfully developed management dashboards and conducted AI training sessions, enhancing operational efficiency. My previous experiences as an Artificial Intelligence Apprentice and Business Intelligence Intern have further honed my skills in data preprocessing, visualization, and stakeholder collaboration.
