What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where data is both accurate and understood—using analytics and AI/ML to drive decisions with clear storytelling. I want to build practical, human-centred systems and collaborate with teams that value communication as much as rigor.

I’m a data scientist working at the intersection of analytics, machine learning, and communication. I believe data should do more than fill a dashboard—it should create clarity, guide decisions, and feel intuitive to the people reading it.

At Deep Analytics, I built predictive models in Python (Scikit-learn, Pandas) that improved forecasting accuracy by 15%. I also designed interactive Tableau dashboards for real-time KPI monitoring, helping teams lift operational efficiency by 20% through faster, data-driven decisions.

My day-to-day spans the full pipeline: ETL and data cleaning, exploratory data analysis, statistical modeling, and translating results into stakeholder-ready recommendations. I’ve also engineered systems for social media and marketing analytics—running Meta campaigns that reached 10,000+ people on a small budget and generating 10,030 views on a MYR 20/day lead-generation campaign.

As the founder of Ari, a human-centred data studio, I bring data science, design, and storytelling together so analytics is technically correct and genuinely useful. I’ve also mentored learners in digital literacy and led educational content creation for underserved, non-technical audiences.
