I’m Ali Mahdi, a data science and telecom/IT professional who thrives on turning data into actionable insights and building scalable, high-availability platforms. I blend programming (Python, R) with robust database design (MySQL) and BI tooling (Apache Superset, Power BI) to support performance monitoring, KPI analytics, and data-driven decision making across cloud-native and on-prem environments. My work spans ML/DL, NLP, time-series analysis, network analytics, and optimization. I’ve earned an MIT MicroMasters in Statistics and Data Science and am pursuing a MSc in Data Science, with several data-driven projects and a telecom product patent to my name. I’m a clear, collaborative communicator who enjoys aligning cross-functional teams around data-informed product and process improvements.
