About Me
I am a passionate Data Science and AI enthusiast with a strong background in software development, machine learning, and data-driven problem-solving. Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Data Science, I have built expertise in Python, Golang, R, and SQL, along with frameworks like TensorFlow, Keras, and scikit-learn. My work spans data analysis, predictive modeling, and AI development, and I thrive on optimizing performance and building scalable solutions.
Beyond data science, I have experience in game development, where I programmed core mechanics for a first-person immersive sim in Unreal Engine 4 using C++. I also developed Grizzly, a high-performance DataFrame package in Golang, and Gorillaz, a machine learning library that leverages multithreading for efficient model training. My ability to integrate software engineering, AI, and data science allows me to build powerful and optimized solutions.
I am always eager to explore new technologies, innovations, and research in AI and data science. Whether working on business analytics, deep learning models, or high-performance computing, I enjoy tackling complex problems and developing solutions that make an impact. Let’s connect and collaborate on projects that push the boundaries of data-driven decision-making!
