Available to hire
I am a highly accomplished research data scientist with more than six years of experience in machine learning, data analytics, and data management. I enjoy turning complex datasets into actionable insights, building robust models, and collaborating across disciplines to advance scientific discovery.
Currently, I lead a collaborative project between the University of Canterbury and Purdue University, applying computational methods to smart energy materials. I thrive in interdisciplinary settings, continuously learning new tools (Python, SQL, Snowflake, Power BI) and sharing knowledge through mentoring, talks, and open science.
