What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster continuous learning and innovation in data science.

I am a motivated Junior Data Scientist currently in the final year of my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I have hands-on experience in data science, machine learning, and analytics roles, which has equipped me with a solid foundation in statistical analysis and predictive modeling. My proficiency in programming languages such as Python and R, along with data visualization tools like Google Looker Studio, Matplotlib, and Seaborn, allows me to effectively analyze data and derive meaningful insights.

During my internship at iLabs, I designed a Google Looker Studio dashboard to visualize Google Ads campaign performance, which significantly optimized decision-making processes. Additionally, I developed an interactive map using Shiny that improved operational efficiency by quickly identifying delivery errors. My experience in automating data cleaning tasks and analyzing pricing trends has supported the development of a dynamic pricing model, showcasing my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance model accuracy and reliability.
