What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and fosters growth in data science and machine learning.

I am a results-driven data scientist with over 3 years of experience in data analytics, machine learning, and business intelligence. My journey has been marked by a commitment to leveraging data-first strategies to solve real-world challenges. At Brookside Consultancy, I led the development and deployment of machine learning models that optimized key business operations, achieving a 20% reduction in customer churn through predictive modeling. Additionally, I developed a real-time recommendation system that increased user engagement by 30% and conducted A/B testing that lifted marketing conversions by 15%.

My technical expertise includes proficiency in Python, SQL, and Power BI, along with experience in big data technologies such as Hadoop and Spark. I have a strong foundation in data visualization, utilizing Python libraries and Power BI to communicate insights effectively to stakeholders. My previous role as a tutor at Quadrant Softwares allowed me to enhance my mentoring and communication skills while fostering problem-solving abilities in students. I am passionate about continuous learning and applying my skills to drive impactful business outcomes.
