What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote international data science and ML roles where I can build production-grade pipelines and ML systems (Python, SQL, Spark, Kafka, Airflow) and ship measurable impact using AWS and strong engineering practices.

I’m a Data Scientist with 10+ years of analytical experience in economics research and consulting, and I’m now transitioning into technical data science and ML. I’m AWS Certified Solutions Architect (SAA-C03) and I build end-to-end data pipelines and machine learning systems with a strong focus on real-world deployment.

I’ve worked hands-on with Python, SQL, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, and dbt to orchestrate both structured and streaming workloads. In project work, I delivered measurable improvements—like an 85% latency reduction and 60% query improvement through star-schema modeling and partitioning—while also packaging ML into production-ready APIs using FastAPI.

I value reliable engineering practices (including CI/CD integration) and maintainability (like automated schema-evolution for reverse ETL workflows). I’m seeking remote international data science and ML opportunities where I can combine analytical depth with modern data engineering and scalable ML delivery.
