What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build ML and analytics solutions end-to-end—turning data into dashboards, forecasts, and models—while partnering with stakeholders to improve decision-making, data quality, and operational efficiency.

I’m a Data Scientist with over 3 years of experience leveraging SQL Server, MS Access, Excel, and SAP to deliver high-impact insights and optimize financial performance. I build end-to-end reporting and visualization solutions that support strategic initiatives, and I’m known for delivering precise, actionable analytics in both autonomous and collaborative environments.

In recent roles, I’ve improved data integrity by 30% with TensorFlow and SQL, increased prediction accuracy by 35% using Python and PyTorch, and reduced reporting and retrieval times through SSRS, Tableau, Power BI, and Azure Data Factory. I also lead predictive analytics and feature engineering efforts (e.g., XGBoost) to improve forecasting accuracy and speed up decision-making—always partnering with stakeholders to tailor solutions that raise data quality and operational efficiency.
