Security professional transitioning into data science with hands-on ML and analytics experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a security professional currently working for Sterling Security Solutions in George Town, KY, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Data Science at The Open University. I combine frontline security experience—patrolling, access control, surveillance, record keeping—with growing expertise in data science and machine learning.
My formal and self-directed training includes Data Fundamentals with IBM Skill Build, Financial Analysis and Reporting, and extensive courses through Udemy and 365Careers covering Python, statistics, machine learning, deep learning, NLP, transformers, LangChain, and Hugging Face.
I have built practical projects such as an automated Gold Trading Algorithm, a Credit Risk Model, and a Fraud Detection Model that apply statistical models and ML techniques to real-world problems. These projects demonstrate my ability to wrangle data, build predictive models, and evaluate performance.
I am disciplined, detail-oriented, and adaptable—skills honed in security roles—that I apply to data work. I am eager to contribute to teams that value practical ML solutions and cross-disciplinary experience.
