What I'm looking for

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

I am a data scientist with a strong foundation in statistical methods and machine learning algorithms. My experience includes applying regression, classification, and clustering techniques using Python and R in various academic and capstone projects. I have successfully built and deployed predictive models utilizing libraries such as scikit-learn and TensorFlow, addressing real-world business challenges.

Throughout my projects, I have developed interactive dashboards and reports using Tableau and Power BI, effectively communicating insights to non-technical stakeholders. My expertise extends to data extraction, cleaning, and transformation, where I have optimized SQL queries and automated workflows to enhance efficiency. I pride myself on my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, delivering data-driven solutions that drive impactful decisions.
