What I'm looking for
As a dedicated data scientist with a Master of Science in Data Science for Finance, I have honed my skills in machine learning and data analysis.

Currently, I work as a Technical Support Engineer at SAS Institute, where I resolve complex issues related to SAS systems and cloud deployments. My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement data-driven solutions that enhance system performance. Additionally, my internship experience at SAS allowed me to build explainable machine learning models for anti-money laundering use cases, showcasing my ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to continuous learning and improvement. I have automated financial processes, developed ETL pipelines, and created interactive demonstrations for fraud detection systems. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive efficiency and innovation in the finance sector.
