What I'm looking for

I'm seeking roles building applied AI and recommender systems within collaborative, innovation-driven teams where I can combine technical modeling, product thinking, and strategy to deliver scalable business impact.

I'm an engineer who blends technical depth, business strategy, and creative insight to design data-driven, user-centered AI solutions that translate complex challenges into clear, scalable systems.

I have practical experience building end-to-end analytics and innovation programs: developing KPIs and Power BI dashboards, managing R&D portfolios with startups and academia, and restructuring intrapreneurship initiatives to boost engagement by over 300%.

My recent projects include a graph-based music recommendation pipeline using Python, Pandas, NumPy, PyTorch and the Spotify API, and MBA capstone work focused on recommender systems, deep learning, and applied model evaluation.
