Data Scientist
Forever Exploring

I am a Canadian based self-taught Data Scientist with a background in Biology & Computer Science. I am passionate about Data Science and Machine Learning. I'm fascinated with what machine learning can do and can't wait to keep exploring. Currently, I am focused on building data pipelines and automating them.


This is what I am doing right now


I am always looking to learn new things. I am currently working on a few projects related to MLOps and Machine Learning. At the same time I am actively on the lookout for remote internships which I can pursue in field of Data Science.


I am a strong advocate for open source and I am always interested in working on new projects with new people. Feel free to reach out if you have anything to talk about, you can reach me through Mail


Here you can see what I use on daily basis
