What sets me apart:
My background isn't just in code; it's in solving mission-critical challenges under tight consulting timelines. Having spent nearly a decade in consulting, I understand that the best algorithm is useless if it doesn't drive value or if stakeholders can't understand it. Expert in building production-grade predictive models and automated data pipelines that bridge the gap between complex business strategy and scalable technical execution.
A LEO satellite fleet health management platform using real ISS telemetry to demonstrate predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and operational decision support capabilities.
