What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level analytics role where I can apply Python, SQL, and ML to solve business problems, learn from mentors, and contribute to cross-functional teams.

I am an entry-level data scientist with practical experience in data cleaning, exploratory data analysis, and predictive modeling from academic and internship projects.

During my Data Analyst internship at Soroi Collection I wrote SQL queries, assisted with data collection and preprocessing, supported model development and validation, and created reports and dashboards for stakeholders.

My projects include a customer churn prediction model using logistic regression and random forest, and sales forecasting via ARIMA; I emphasize feature engineering, model evaluation, and hyperparameter tuning to improve performance.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and certifications including the Google Data Analytics Certificate and IBM Data Science Professional Certificate; I communicate findings to non-technical audiences and enjoy collaborating across teams to turn data into business impact.
