What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic role in data science focusing on machine learning and NLP, where I can apply my technical skills to drive business growth and innovation.

I am a detail-oriented data scientist and educator with a strong background in machine learning and natural language processing. Currently, I work as a Research Assistant at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, where I contribute to projects analyzing judicial interactions and credit scoring using advanced machine learning techniques.

Previously, I served as a Lecturer at the Lahore School of Economics, teaching courses in political economy and international relations. My academic journey includes a Master's in Business Analytics and Big Data Systems from HSE and a Master of Arts in International Relations from the University of Nottingham.

I am proficient in a range of technologies including Python, R, SQL, and various machine learning libraries. My expertise extends to data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau, as well as big data processing frameworks such as Apache Spark and Airflow.
