Md Nur Al Ahad
@mdnuralahad
Senior data scientist and machine-learning engineer teaching AI, delivering predictive analytics for finance and healthcare.
What I'm looking for
I’m a data scientist and machine-learning engineer with a finance and actuarial foundation (MSc in Actuarial Science with Business Analytics) and hands-on research in financial engineering. Alongside building models, I teach AI in Business, Data Mining, and data-centric courses—using flipped classrooms, project-based learning, and tools like Jupyter Notebooks and Tableau to boost engagement.
In industry roles, I’ve refined machine learning systems for healthcare and sales forecasting, and developed deep learning solutions including a speech-to-text recognition system (96% accuracy) and a neural image similarity search engine (95% accuracy). I’m especially motivated by work where rigorous data analysis and explainable outcomes matter—whether in pension maturity modeling, anomaly detection, or GenAI/RAG applications.
