ML Engineer · Data Scientist · Entrepreneur · Builder
I've spent the last 10+ years building ML systems, data platforms, and products that solve real problems — from saving banks millions with predictive models to deploying cardiovascular risk tools used by 500K+ people. My work spans machine learning, NLP, full-stack development, and mobile apps across banking, healthcare, research, and tech startups.
I'm equally comfortable building frontend interfaces, designing backend architectures, writing Python pipelines, or automating complex workflows end-to-end.
