I am a Data Scientist with 10+ years in analytics and 7+ years building end-to-end ML solutions. I own end-to-end delivery: translating ambiguous business questions into clear metrics, validated analyses and models, and decisions adopted by stakeholders. I enjoy generalist ML for classification/regression, similarity matching, segmentation, and decision-support tooling, with solid forecasting/time-series modeling, backtesting, and monitoring. I also contribute to GenAI initiatives and internal tooling, such as structured prompting and tool/function calling for analytics workflows. I work well with cross-functional teams and turn insights into practical commercial actions, from data quality improvements to actionable recommendations.
