About

I am a Physics Ph.D. with a decade of hands-on experience in data science, AI, and scientific computing. I have worked on a wide range of projects from statistical modeling and simulation to machine learning and large-scale data processing in high-stakes environments like CERN and critical applications in healthcare and energy sectors. I thrive in fast-paced environments where the work demands both creativity and focused problem-solving.

Over the years, I have taken on both leadership and hands-on technical roles, leading teams and projects from early design and prototyping through implementation to large-scale production deployment. I am passionate about solving hard problems and delivering robust, compliant, and scalable AI and data solutions across scientific and industrial domains.
