Hi, I’m Forood Faraji, a data scientist and AI enthusiast based in Milan. I enjoy turning messy data into clear, actionable insights and building end-to-end AI solutions that solve real-world problems. I thrive in collaborative, cross-disciplinary teams and love sharing knowledge through approachable, hands-on learning. I’ve worked on projects spanning zero-shot activity recognition from home-sensor data, semantic segmentation, and neural network-based portfolio allocation. I also contribute as a Teaching Assistant, helping students grasp AI concepts and data analysis. In my free time, I experiment with new ML frameworks and focus on responsible AI and robust data workflows.
