What I'm looking for

I am looking for full-time opportunities in Germany, focusing on data science and AI roles that offer growth and innovation.

Data Scientist with 7+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, and AI, coupled with expertise in Python, SQL, Azure Synapse Analytics, Databricks, and GCP, I am eager to contribute my skills to drive data-driven solutions within your organization.

In my current role as an Associate Data Scientist at Sagility India Pvt. Ltd., I lead a 4-member team in developing predictive analytics models for healthcare analytics. My expertise in PySpark, Azure Databricks, and Power BI has enabled me to create scalable data pipelines and derive actionable insights. Previously, at WiseAnalytics.io Pvt Ltd, I built customer segmentation models using machine learning, leveraging BigQuery, SQL, and Tableau to optimize customer retention strategies.

Beyond my technical expertise, I thrive in Agile/Scrum environments, effectively collaborating with stakeholders to bridge the gap between complex data models and business objectives. I am also Microsoft Azure Certified and currently pursuing a Generative AI Certification, underscoring my commitment to staying ahead in the evolving AI landscape.

Additionally, I have German language proficiency at A1-A2 levels and have appeared for the Goethe A1 exam, reflecting my dedication to integrating into the German work environment and culture.
