What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth in data science.

I am a dedicated data scientist with a Master of Science in Data Science from Indiana University Bloomington. My professional journey has been marked by a commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of data analysis and machine learning. Currently, I am a Data Scientist Researcher at Indiana University, where I conduct NLP-driven analysis to identify cognitive distortions linked to depression, earning a fellowship for my contributions to mental health research. My work has significantly advanced AI applications in psychological assessment, showcasing my ability to merge technology with social impact.

Previously, I worked at Hi-Tech Digital Solutions LLP, where I led the development of a facial recognition model that achieved 98% precision, drastically reducing fraudulent sign-ins. My expertise in data visualization and analytics has empowered marketing teams to derive actionable insights, resulting in improved campaign performance. I have a strong foundation in deep learning techniques, having developed models for image segmentation and classification that have saved significant operational costs. My passion for mentoring is reflected in my role as a Teaching Assistant, where I guide student teams in data science projects, fostering a collaborative and engaging learning environment.
