Experienced Software Engineer | Data Science Enthusiast | Machine Learning PractitionerWith over 13 years of experience in software engineering and quality assurance, I have honed my expertise in SQL/PLSQL, UNIX programming, and Python development. I have a solid track record in building and optimizing systems for high-performance environments. My career began in Quality Assurance, where I developed deep knowledge in database management and testing, later transitioning into machine learning and data science through academic and professional projects.I recently completed a Master of Data Science, where I worked on diverse projects, including a major NLP project for sentiment analysis using Transformers with the MAMS dataset. Additionally, I have experience in mineral grain classification using CNNs and MLPs, and pedestrian trajectory forecasting with LSTM and variational autoencoders. I’m adept at designing machine learning models, data preprocessing, and developing custom architectures for specific problem-solving needs.I have applied my skillset across various industries, with significant experience in both development and deployment of data-driven solutions. As I transition fully into data science, I am passionate about combining my technical knowledge with real-world applications in machine learning, deep learning, and NLP to deliver impactful business solutions.
