About

Columbia University's Master of Science in Data Science program equipped me with advanced skills in machine learning and data analysis, complemented by hands-on experience in teaching and technical support. My role as a High School Assistant for the "Data Science and Machine Learning 2" course allowed me to guide students through coding exercises and facilitate their understanding of essential concepts. Previous experiences include serving as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for Applied Deep Learning, where I supported course grading and held weekly office hours, and as a Senior Executive at IFFCO Tokio General Insurance, where I contributed to software development and API integration. My competencies in data science, Scikit-learn, and teaching align with a strong foundation in scalable solutions and collaborative problem-solving.
