About Me

I am an enthusiastic data scientist based in the Tampa Bay area, with a rich experience of over 11 years in data science and economics.

I love solving business problems with analytical solutions that can make huge impacts.

With years of experience in data science and economics I have mastered the skills of understanding client requirements according to the latest trends. I have worked primarily within the real estate/finance industries.

I’ve spent most of these years working across different areas of analytics, implementing solutions such as; automating multi-billion dollar processes through the use of econometric regressions and machine learning techniques.

What I Do

Between my full-time work as a data scientist at Fannie Mae, pursing higher education as a PhD student at Florida Atlantic University and side projects at home (such as automated trading algorithms), I like to keep myself busy by continuously learning.

RESEARCH/ANALYTICS

Deep diving research into problems and analyzing potential solutions is what drives me everyday.

PROGRAMMING

I have experience in R/Python/C/C++/ SQL No matter the problem, I can leverage the appropriate programming language for the solution.

WEB DEVELOPMENT

As I further my research and analytics, I am pursing the avenues to sharing my findings externally. This has lead to deep diving web development.
