About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Data Scientist with 10 years of experience building Python, PySpark, and machine learning solutions across product, marketing, and operational use cases.

I have worked on predictive modeling, deep learning workflows, and data pipelines for structured and unstructured data, with production experience in pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hadoop, Hive, HBase, MongoDB, and Cassandra.

My background includes data retrieval, feature engineering, model validation, and experimentation, and I have supported large-scale analytics systems that help teams make better product and business decisions.

I enjoy working close to the data and translating complex datasets into measurable outcomes, whether that means improving model lift, reducing false positives, or speeding up analysis workflows.

I have collaborated with product, analytics, and engineering teams across time zones, and I am comfortable documenting assumptions, sharing design reviews, and shipping production-ready solutions.

I bring a research-minded approach to prototyping and algorithm design, with a strong focus on practical impact, reproducibility, and scalable implementation.
