About Me

I'm a Senior Data Scientist with 3+ years of experience building end-to-end machine learning solutions. My expertise spans predictive modeling, unsupervised learning, time-series forecasting, and MLOps implementation.

Currently, I develop and deploy ML solutions for enterprise clients, focusing on creating event-driven pipelines that deliver real-time insights from complex data. I'm passionate about translating business problems into data science solutions that drive measurable results.

When I'm not building models or wrangling data, I enjoy mentoring junior data scientists and sharing knowledge through internal workshops and technical blog posts. Outside of work, you'll find me on the golf course or exploring trails in the Shawangunk Mountain ridge on my weekend runs.
