About

I'm a driven and solutions-oriented Junior-Level Data Scientist with under three years of hands-on experience in the tech industry. My journey into data science is rooted in a strong passion for uncovering insights from data and transforming complex problems into actionable strategies. I have a solid foundation in statistical data analysis, data visualization, and machine learning, with practical experience in Python, and key tools like Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Scikit-learn, and SciPy.

I thrive in collaborative environments and I'm always eager to learn and apply new techniques to deliver value. Whether it's cleaning raw datasets, building predictive models, or presenting findings to stakeholders, I approach every task with precision and curiosity. My growing expertise is backed by a strong commitment to continuous learning, adaptability, and delivering measurable impact through data driven decision making.
