About
I'm an enthusiastic data scientist with a strong passion for designing intricate systems and a keen interest in utilizing AI and machine learning techniques to create products capable of handling vast amounts of data. After commencing my career in software product development, I made the decision to channel my problem-solving abilities towards pursuing further education in the form of graduate school and a subsequent postdoctoral position in systems biology. Throughout my extensive research career spanning a decade, I collaborated with diverse, multidisciplinary teams to develop and explore the intersection between biology and computer science. Recently, I made the choice to transition back to the industry, leveraging my expertise as a senior data scientist at Honeywell. Presently I am a data science product owner at Kontali where we are building the Shrimp portfolio on the Edge.
