Data Scientist with Engineering Roots | ML Researcher | Turning Data into Decisions

Engineering-trained Data Scientist with peer-reviewed AI publications and proven ML deployment experience in industry

About

I transitioned from engineering to data science to solve problems at the intersection of technical rigor and business impact. My background in engineering provides a systematic approach to building scalable ML pipelines and data infrastructure.

I specialize in predictive modeling, time-series forecasting, and deploying production-grade machine learning systems. My work spans peer-reviewed research in AI optimization and real-world applications in business intelligence, customer analytics, and operational efficiency.

I build models that work in production, not just notebooks. Every project prioritizes interpretability, maintainability, and measurable business outcomes.
