About


Hey there✌️! I'm an experienced data scientist with three years of experience across diverse domains, leveraging data to drive business growth. I thrive on transforming complex ideas into clear, actionable insights 🤩. Data is my playground 👩‍💻 — I specialize in LLMs, RAG, data analysis, statistical modeling, experimentation, and machine learning, approaching challenges with enthusiasm and a solutions-driven mindset.

A bit about myself: Currently, I work as a Data Scientist at CVS Health, 🎯 where I built an LLM-based system that extracts key insights from unstructured discharge notes for a 1.2M-member population, reducing clinicians' patient-note review time by 80% 📈. I also designed an LLM-based risk detection model, enabling early chronic-disease interventions with 💸$$$ in projected savings.

Academically, I hold a Master of Science degree in Computer Engineering from New York University💜, which laid the foundation for my strong analytical and technical expertise.

I'm driven by a passion for continuous learning, creating meaningful impact, and collaborating with diverse, high-performing teams. My goal is to apply my analytical and problem-solving skills to drive business growth and innovation. I'm excited to take on challenging projects in roles such as Data Scientist, AI Engineer, ML Engineer or Data Analyst 😎.

Outside of coding, I enjoy indulging in my hobbies—hiking trips⛰️, sketching, binge-watching TV shows🍿, and cooking🧑‍🍳.

👥You can get in touch with me using email, checkout some of my projects on GitHub, connect with me on LinkedIn, or read my resume.
