Turning Data Into
Strategic Decisions

I'm an M.Sc. graduate in Engineering Management with extensive experience driving strategic decision-making in Healthcare and Financial Regulation.

My expertise lies in translating high-volume data into actionable intelligence using Python, SQL, and modern BI tools, with a focus on practical solutions that scale with your business.

I've consulted with executive leadership to solve complex patient flow and policy challenges, and have a proven track record of implementing machine learning models that provide real-time predictive insights.

I'm passionate about staying at the forefront of technology—particularly AI. I actively explore emerging tools and leverage AI-assisted development to deliver solutions faster and more efficiently.
