About

I’m a results-driven Data Scientist with 4+ years of experience building end-to-end machine learning solutions and scalable data pipelines across financial services, healthcare, and e-commerce. I specialize in production-grade ML models, strong MLOps workflows, and data engineering that turns raw data into measurable business impact—whether it’s churn prediction, recommendation systems, fraud detection, or RAG/LLM-powered assistants.
