What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in technology.

I am a motivated MSc Artificial Intelligence and Data Science student at the University of Hull, with a strong foundation in business intelligence, data analytics, and software development. My proficiency in Python, SQL, Power BI, and machine learning enables me to make data-driven decisions effectively. I am passionate about contributing to meaningful projects in the tech industry while continuously growing my skills as a well-rounded technology professional.

During my academic journey, I have gained hands-on experience in applying classification, regression, and statistical methods to real-world datasets. My thesis focuses on real-world AI applications, and I have developed machine learning models using CNNs, RNNs, and transformers. My professional experience as a Business Analyst and QA at WeatherWalay has honed my analytical skills, allowing me to lead end-to-end business analysis and optimize processes for improved project outcomes.
