Summary

  • Senior Data Scientist with hands-on experience building ML pipelines, experimentation frameworks, and causal inference solutions. I lead cross-functional projects end-to-end—from scoping and stakeholder alignment to modeling, deployment, and monitoring—and mentor teams to deliver robust, measurable impact. I thrive at the intersection of product and platform, enabling faster iteration and reliable data products.
