About Me

Face

I'm a Computer Science student specializing in machine learning, software engineering, and large-scale data systems. I've built ML pipelines, computer vision applications, and predictive models applied to robotics and satellite data, with a strong focus on scalability and fault tolerance. I'm passionate about applying AI in FinTech, developing models for fraud detection, risk management, and financial forecasting. My goal is to design systems that deliver measurable business impact through data-driven decisions.
