I build in
I turn messy real-world data into working products. Currently focused on computer vision and applied machine learning.
About
The short version.
The same five stages behind every build here — Gather, Clean, Model, Evaluate, Ship — plus the four areas I'm exploring now.
I work as a full-stack data scientist — the kind who stays with a problem after the model runs, until it is somewhere a real person can open it.
So most of what is on this page started as a messy public dataset and ended as a deployed app. Along the way I keep the notebooks teaching-style, because a result nobody can follow is not finished.
That habit is what got me recognised on Kaggle as a Notebook Expert, and it is why I lean toward work that is visually satisfying as well as technically sound.
How a project actually goes
-
Gather
Public APIs, scraped pages, competition data.
-
Clean
The unglamorous 80% — joins, nulls, text, images.
-
Model
Bake off a dozen architectures, not one favourite.
-
Evaluate
Cross-validation and leaderboards decide, not vibes.
-
Ship
Flask and Streamlit apps on Render — live links below.
Skills
What I work with.
24 tools in four groups — Languages, Frameworks & ML, Data & Viz, Tools & Env — backed by 3, 9, 7 and 6 projects respectively.
Skill profile ? Self-assessed proficiency. Each score reflects depth of use: number of projects, years of practice, and how central the skill is to my day-to-day work. Not a benchmark — a personal snapshot.
Relative proficiency across the domains I use most. The shape tells the story.
