Data Science Graduate Student | ML & Cloud Engineer | Building Scalable AI Solutions

About Me

Driven by data. Focused on impact.

I'm a Computer Science graduate student pursuing a Master's in Data Science at Seattle University, where I'm deepening my expertise in machine learning, statistical modeling, and cloud technologies. My focus is on building practical skills that bridge academic theory with real-world business applications.

I work across predictive modeling, data analytics, and cloud engineering. My projects include developing machine learning models for heart disease prediction and building solutions that reduced operational inefficiencies by 80%. I focus on solving real problems—improving patient care through clustering analysis and enhancing student services with data insights.

My technical expertise spans Python, SQL, AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, EMR), TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, Apache Spark, Power BI, and Tableau. I build end-to-end data pipelines, develop machine learning models, and create analytics solutions that translate data into clear, actionable insights.

I'm looking for Data Science, AI Engineering, or Cloud roles where I can build scalable solutions that drive business results and create positive impact.
