 Driven by curiosity for solving complex data challenges, I am now expanding my focus toward machine learning–powered applications. I am exploring predictive modeling, natural language processing, LLMs, agentic AI, and automated decision-making systems, with the goal of building intelligent, scalable solutions. By combining a strong foundation in analytics with modern ML techniques, I aspire to create thoughtfully engineered data-driven solutions that drive measurable business value and scale for the future.
