Available to hire
I am a problem solver with 4+ years of combined industry and research experience across fintech, telecommunications, healthcare, and agriculture. My background spans tabular machine learning, imbalanced learning, and deep generative models.
I am currently a Research Grant recipient at AISYM4MED, FEUP Porto, where I design end-to-end pipelines for tabular data generation and evaluation, develop deep generative models for tabular data, and integrate privacy-preserving mechanisms into tabular data generation.
