What I'm looking for

I’m seeking opportunities in organizations that inspire growth and foster exploration of transformative analytical solutions. I’m drawn to advanced analytics, AI/ML, generative AI, and predictive analytics across the end-to-end application cycle.

At Yassir, I design dynamic surge pricing models using geohash-level analysis and develop dispatch optimization algorithms to balance wait times and operational efficiency. I also integrate machine learning into pricing and dispatch strategies and work on agentic RAG use cases.

At Carelon Global Solutions, I worked on generative AI projects for natural-language-to-SQL/Python generation, medical-record review, and competitor policy analysis. I also contributed to healthcare provider network optimization and fraud, abuse, and waste identification.

At TCS Research Lab, I worked on matching theory, resource allocation, privacy, and optimization problems. That research contributed to a granted US patent, a journal paper, a white paper, and conference papers.
