What I'm looking for

I seek a data-driven role applying ML and analytics to solve business problems, with opportunities for measurable impact, technical growth, and collaborative team environments.

I am a data scientist with over two years of experience turning complex data into actionable business insights, particularly in pricing and inventory optimization for large retail operations.

At Landmark Group I designed and deployed a centralized pricing platform that drove AED 50M incremental revenue, built cross-price elasticity modules for 1,200+ SKUs, and created a margin estimator with under 10% WMAPE—deploying models as APIs and automating insights with GPT-4.

I bring hands-on expertise in Azure Databricks pipelines, machine learning (Random Forest, XGBoost, CNNs, Transformers), and end-to-end project delivery, and I seek to apply these skills to measurable business problems in analytics-driven teams.
