My passion lies in leveraging data science techniques to solve complex business problems and enhance operational efficiency. I have honed my skills in machine learning and statistical analysis, which have proven invaluable in driving insights that contribute to business growth.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects such as the Iris Flower Species Prediction Model and SafeWay, a machine learning model predicting safe routes for e-hailing drivers.
