What Sets Me Apart
Rare Dual Expertise: A unique combination of FCCA Chartered Accountancy, 15+ years business leadership, and cutting-edge ML/AI capabilities. I don't just build models — I understand the business context, ROI implications, and strategic value that makes them impactful.
Full-Stack ML Expertise: From deep learning (PyTorch, TensorFlow) to gradient boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost) to NLP transformers (BERT, GPT) — I select and implement the right technique for each business problem, not just the trendiest algorithm.
Multi-Domain Versatility: Proven success across Finance (fraud detection, stock forecasting, insurance pricing), Healthcare (medical imaging, disease prediction), Retail (demand forecasting, customer analytics), NLP (sentiment analysis, NER), and Computer Vision (object detection, image classification).
Production-First Mindset: Every project includes interactive Streamlit dashboards, FastAPI endpoints, Docker deployment, and comprehensive documentation. I build systems that stakeholders can actually use — not just notebooks that collect dust.
Explainable AI Champion: SHAP, LIME, Grad-CAM, and feature importance analysis in every project. I believe ML models must be interpretable for business adoption, regulatory compliance, and building stakeholder trust.
Proven Impact: 17+ production ML projects with metrics like 99.78% R², 98% ROC-AUC, $131K+ savings per 100K transactions, and consistent delivery of measurable business outcomes across diverse industries.
