What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my data science skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative projects that drive technological advancements.

I am a dedicated data scientist with a robust academic background in mathematics, holding a Master of Science in Quantitative Analysis and Computational Mathematics from the University of Essex. My journey in data science began with an intensive bootcamp at Le Wagon, where I honed my skills in Python, TensorFlow, and machine learning applications. I have successfully trained object detection models and prepared datasets for various projects, including satellite imagery analysis.

In addition to my technical expertise, I have a passion for education and have worked as a math tutor and teacher, helping students improve their problem-solving skills and achieve academic success. My experience in teaching has equipped me with the ability to create engaging learning materials and foster curiosity among students. I am committed to continuous learning and aim to contribute to Japan's dynamic technology sector.
