About

I'm a data science practitioner with a multidisciplinary foundation in Mechatronics Engineering and academic training in Life Sciences (Botany). This unique blend allows me to approach problems at the intersection of engineering, biology, and computation with a systems-thinking mindset.


My journey into data science has been fueled by deep curiosity and a drive to build practical, impactful solutions. I've built end-to-end projects in machine learning, natural language processing, and time series forecasting — including a fake news detector, an RNN-based lyrics generator, and a stock price predictor.

My background in education and research has sharpened my ability to communicate complex concepts clearly — whether teaching high school mathematics or analyzing planetary data at Abyom SpaceTech.


I'm proficient in Python, SQL, scikit-learn, Keras, Pandas, Tableau, and Power BI. Currently expanding through training at the Boston Institute of Analytics and the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate.


I believe in lifelong learning, cross-disciplinary thinking, and building systems that balance precision with creativity. Long term, I aim to apply AI to challenges in education, automation, and ecological sustainability.
