What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining ML and UX in healthcare or tech R&D, with collaborative teams, impact-driven projects, and opportunities to advance applied research.

I am a data scientist and UX researcher with academic training in cognitive psychology, biotechnology and neuroscience, complemented by an MBA in digital strategy. I combine strong quantitative skills with human-centered research experience to translate complex data into actionable product and research insights.

My background includes two years in fundamental research laboratories, freelance UX research, and a research role focused on EEG analysis where I built ML pipelines and achieved high-performing models (interictal spike detector 96% accuracy; spike classification model 97% accuracy). I am experienced with Python, R, TensorFlow/Keras, SQL, Bayesian modeling, ETL/ELT and cloud tools like AWS.

I look for roles at the intersection of technological innovation and healthcare where I can apply machine learning, experimental design and UX research to advance R&D in startups or larger companies.
