I’m a Lead Data Scientist with 9+ years of experience building and scaling enterprise-grade Machine Learning, NLP, and Generative AI systems across EdTech, Retail, Finance, and Mobility domains. I specialize in designing robust AI architectures that move seamlessly from research to production, with a strong focus on reliability, governance, and real-world impact.
My work sits at the intersection of advanced modeling, cloud-native AI systems, and business strategy—helping organizations translate complex problems into scalable, production-ready solutions.
