I am a data scientist focused on turning data into tangible business value. With 11+ years of hands-on experience across healthcare, finance, and cloud-native environments, I design and deploy end-to-end AI/ML solutions, including Generative AI and data engineering platforms. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate complex problems into scalable, observable, and governance-ready products. My approach combines robust modeling, responsible AI practices, and practical engineering to deliver measurable impact for regulatory contexts and real-world workflows. I thrive on building production-grade ML systems that stay aligned with business needs, offer explainability, and adapt to evolving data. I actively pursue continuous learning, mentor colleagues, and advocate for transparent, auditable AI solutions that balance innovation with risk management.
