About

I am a data-driven researcher and machine learning specialist with strong academic foundations in Computer Science, currently advancing my research as a Research Assistant at Liverpool John Moores University (UK). My work focuses on predictive modeling, intelligent data processing, and applied machine learning, with practical experience developing models that have achieved up to 97% accuracy in real-world forecasting applications. I bring hands-on experience as a Research Assistant, Research Analyst, and Data Scientist, where I have contributed to full research workflows, from data acquisition and preprocessing to statistical analysis, model development, documentation, and presentation of findings. I enjoy transforming raw data into meaningful insights and designing analytical frameworks that support decision-making and academic inquiry. My technical background spans Python, SQL, machine learning algorithms, feature engineering, data visualization, and statistical modeling, along with strong skills in academic writing, literature review, experimental design, and research communication. I am equally comfortable working independently or as part of interdisciplinary research teams. Outside my research work, I have supported the development of instructional materials and have mentored students in understanding core concepts in data science, machine learning, and computer science fundamentals. I’m passionate about bridging theory with impactful real-world applications. I’m always open to opportunities in research labs, universities, data-driven projects, and interdisciplinary collaborations related to machine learning, data analytics, AI, or applied computer science. If you’re looking for someone who combines a research mindset, technical expertise, and clear analytical communication, I’d be happy to connect.
