About

I don’t just work with data—I question it. I look for what’s missing, what’s hidden, and what could change if we understood it better. Because behind every dataset is a decision waiting to be improved, a system waiting to be smarter, or a story waiting to be told. I’m a Data Scientist and Machine Learning professional working in R&D, building solutions where curiosity meets real-world impact. I enjoy turning ambiguity into structure, and complexity into clarity—whether that’s through scalable ML models, intelligent systems, or data-driven insights that actually drive action. My journey has taken me from solving high-impact business problems at American Express to sharpening my expertise in AI and Machine Learning at Imperial College London and now in the R&D space at Qualcomm. With 7+ years across software engineering, machine learning, and data science, I’ve developed a strong bias for ownership, adaptability, and continuous learning. I’m comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments—and I enjoy figuring things out when there’s no clear playbook. But here’s what matters most to me: Technology should create access, not barriers. That’s why I actively mentor under-resourced girls through HopeWorks Foundation, support women in tech via AnitaB.org, and lead Inclusion & Diversity initiatives. Because impact isn’t just about what we build—it’s also about who we empower along the way. I love connecting with new people and share ideas. If you’re building something ambitious, unconventional, or impactful—let’s talk.
