About

I am Data Scientist (Machine Learning focus) with electronics engineering background. I like to engage with data, build data products and help others make data-informed decisions. I always ask they whys and the why nots and I encourage others to question their assumptions. One of the things I care about is algorithmic fairness and I try to trigger others to think about it. I am a certified instructor from The Carpentries and Posit(previosuly Rstudio) and I enjoy teaching coding and data-science related skills.
