Senior Data Scientist specializing in AI and machine learning solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Data Scientist with a strong background in AI integration and machine learning. Currently, I lead the development of innovative solutions at TopHat, where I successfully launched a textbook content recommendation system that enhances the teaching experience for professors and aids sales teams in content matching. My work involves leveraging advanced technologies such as AlloyDB, Gemini, and FastAPI to create tools that streamline educational processes.
Previously, I served as a Machine Learning Engineer at TELUS, where I developed a zero-shot classification system and churn reporting tool that significantly improved operational efficiency. My experience also includes working as a Data Scientist at Project X Ltd, where I built models to analyze sales data and customer interactions. I am passionate about using data-driven insights to solve complex problems and enhance user experiences.
