Currently serving as a Teaching Assistant for Algorithms at Northeastern University, I bring hands-on experience in building scalable data pipelines, ML models, and cloud infrastructure. My work spans from automating data validation workflows (achieving 60% processing time reduction) to developing real-time AI systems for wildlife detection and smartphone recommendations.

I've published research on blockchain and AI-based fraud detection with Routledge, won a Best Paper Award for heart disease prediction, and have a patent under review for an AWS-deployed IoT water monitoring system.

Fun fact: I automated data validation workflows so well that I saved 60% processing time—now I automate everything, even my coffee breaks!
