About

Principal Data Scientist | Building Revenue-Driving AI Systems | $10M+ Annual Impact | Customer-First AI | AI Capability Builder | AI mentor I build AI systems that improve how businesses understand, serve, and grow their customers. My deployed AI portfolio delivers $10–15M+ annual business impact, primarily through customer targeting, pricing, demand forecasting, and marketing effectiveness. These systems are embedded into real decision workflows and continue to generate value year after year. I specialize in translating business ambiguity into scalable decision systems across marketing, customer intelligence, pricing, and revenue optimization in retail, ecommerce, manufacturing, and B2B/B2C environments. Beyond building systems, I strongly believe in democratizing AI literacy. Beyond work, I mentor data scientists and cross-functional teams, and have served as a course mentor for senior leaders — including World Bank economists, college professors, doctors, lawyers, and government officers — helping them understand how AI creates real strategic value. My strength lies in identifying high-leverage opportunities, designing pragmatic AI solutions, and driving stakeholder trust and adoption. Focus areas: Machine Learning, GenAI (RAG, agentic systems), customer intelligence, forecasting, supply chain and production AI. I am deeply interested in building AI capabilities that become a long-term strategic advantage for organizations
