What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production-ready ML and AI systems, with opportunities for end-to-end model development, deployment (MLOps), and cross-functional impact in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a Data Scientist with hands-on experience building scalable, deployable AI solutions using Python, SQL and modern ML frameworks. I have delivered high-impact projects including a CNN ensemble that achieved 95.2% validation accuracy for a computer vision audit and demand-forecasting pipelines that improved prediction accuracy by 18%.

My work spans end-to-end model development, feature engineering, MLOps (Docker, AWS SageMaker), and LLM/RAG systems using LangChain, Hugging Face and FAISS. I’m a motivated self-starter who translates analytics into measurable business outcomes and designs production-ready workflows for robust inference and cost control.
