Professional Profile

Data Science Professional with 16+ years of experience in software architecture and engineering, AI solution design, and full-stack AI software delivery in production environments.

As the Tech & People Lead for Data Science initiatives, I oversee project design, solution architecture, infrastructure integration, and team delivery while ensuring exceptional product quality. I manage and mentor a team of five data scientists, own the technical design across all AI/ML/NLP projects, and lead execution through structured task management and resource planning.

With a Master's degree in Data Science focused on Natural Language Processing and extensive background as a senior software engineer, I bridge deep technical execution with business-first AI strategy. I thrive where strategy, architecture, and delivery intersect, creating AI solutions that are both effective and sustainable.

I remain hands-on at every project stage—from coding and infrastructure to implementing new tools and models—while excelling at articulating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders in impactful, engaging presentations.
