What I'm looking for

I seek a data-focused role where I can apply machine learning and visualization skills to build production-ready models, drive insights, and grow technically in collaborative teams.

I am a Master's student in Data Science at the University of New Haven with a strong Computer Science and Engineering foundation and hands-on experience building predictive models, deep learning systems, and interactive dashboards. I have delivered high-impact projects—such as a 95% accurate face recognition system and an 87% emotion-detection model—while contributing measurable improvements in internships and professional roles.

My background includes data analysis, model development, and visualization using Python, SQL, Power BI, TensorFlow, and PyTorch, along with leadership and problem-solving experience from supervising technical teams and coordinating events. I focus on producing production-ready solutions, improving data quality, and translating insights into actionable business decisions.
