About

As a data scientist and engineer, I have been involved in multiple projects that leverage natural language processing, unsupervised data mining, and data engineering to generate insights and solutions for various domains. I have worked with the Digital, Data, and Design Institute at Harvard, where I applied NLP and data mining techniques to build Large Language Models tailored for Harvard Business School courses. I have also worked at Systems Limited, where I implemented robotic process automation to streamline and optimize business processes for a large client. Currently, I am pursuing my master's degree in data science at Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, where I am also a teaching fellow for the Data Science course. I am passionate about learning and sharing my knowledge with others, and I enjoy mentoring and supporting students in their academic and career development. I am also a cross-registered student at MIT, where I am taking courses on machine learning and data mining to enhance my skills and expand my horizons. My goal is to become a leader and innovator in the field of data science and engineering, and to contribute to the advancement of science and society.
