About

ML and Data Science engineer with hands-on experience building end-to-end intelligent systems — from exploratory data analysis and feature engineering to deep learning architectures and model optimization on real-world datasets. Most recently fine-tuned RoBERTa for fake job detection, combining text embeddings, numerical features, and categorical embeddings into a multi-modal classification system — with Focal Loss, layer-wise learning rates, gradient clipping, and threshold optimization. Other projects include credit card fraud detection comparing Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost (PR-AUC 0.77, Recall 0.82 across 284K transactions) and asteroid hazard classification using Optuna Bayesian search on NASA/JPL data. Comfortable across the full ML workflow — data cleaning, EDA, feature engineering, imbalanced data handling, model development, hyperparameter tuning, and performance evaluation using Precision, Recall, F1, ROC-AUC, and PR-AUC.
