Aspiring data scientist with expertise in machine learning and data engineering.
United StatesI am a dedicated and passionate data scientist currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Arlington. With a strong foundation in programming and a GPA of 3.55, I have honed my skills in various programming languages, cloud platforms, and machine learning frameworks. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experience as a Graduate Research Assistant, where I co-authored two research papers and led data acquisition and feature engineering on large-scale datasets.
Previously, I worked as a Software Development Engineer at Cognizant Technology Solutions, where I developed backend systems and real-time data pipelines that significantly improved registration throughput and reduced latency. My contributions earned me the Pearson Client Excellence Award for performance tuning and scalable pipeline delivery. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to leveraging my technical skills to drive impactful data-driven solutions.
