About

I am a Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, and AI Practitioner with 7 years of experience delivering AI/ML solutions at scale across telecom, healthcare, banking, and finance industries. I bridge business goals with technical innovation and excel in cloud-native, end-to-end ML lifecycles from data preparation to production deployment and monitoring.

I enjoy leading AI initiatives, mentoring junior analysts, and building scalable ML systems, NLP pipelines, and GenAI-enabled solutions. I thrive on transforming complex data into actionable insights, implementing responsible AI, and enabling data-driven decisions across cross-functional teams.
