What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Data Scientist role where I can build end-to-end ML solutions, deploy models via APIs, automate data pipelines, and partner with stakeholders to deliver measurable business outcomes.

I’m a Data Scientist with 3+ years of professional experience and 3+ years of independent project work delivering end-to-end ML solutions with measurable business outcomes. I focus on translating ambiguous business problems into data-driven decisions, from profiling and feature engineering through deployment and stakeholder reporting.

In recent work, I built a churn prediction model achieving 89% accuracy (AUC-ROC 0.91) and developed a demand forecasting pipeline projecting an 18% overstock cost reduction. I also delivered predictive solutions like Dubai real estate price modelling (R² of 0.83) and improved forecasting performance with strong error metrics.

I bring a practical engineering mindset using Python and SQL with core libraries including XGBoost, Scikit-learn, Prophet, and SHAP. I’ve also automated reporting and ETL workflows to reduce manual effort—30% at Accenture and 83% in a retail automation project—while keeping outputs reliable and decision-ready.

I’m currently completing my MS in Data Science at Deakin University (2023–2026) while continuing to build and deploy projects that run like real products. Based in Dubai with a valid UAE residence visa, I’m available for immediate joining.
