About Me

Introduction

I am an Industrial Engineer with manufacturing and team leadership experience. Expertise in harnessing data analysis, machine learning, and lean principles to drive significant process improvements and operational efficiency. Led teams of up to 20 engineers, implemented AI/ML solutions reducing forecasting errors, and cost-saving initiatives. Skilled in data visualization (Tableau, Power BI), statistical analysis, and communicating insights across cross-functional teams to enable data informed decisions.

📝 I'm currently learning NLP with Tensorflow.
