About Me

Data Passionate


It's been almost years since I began pursuing my Bachelor's in Information Technology at York University, and I'm expected to graduate in years and months.

The unique IT BComm program at York gave me a great opportunity to expand my business knowledge alongside essential IT and computer science courses.

However, as someone passionate about data, I’ve also expanded my knowledge in data science and data analysis to combine what I’ve learned from IT and commerce with more advanced statistical models, machine learning and deep learning to extract actionable insights from raw data.

My Story

It All Begins With Behaviour

I believe the way we think, act, and solve daily problems generates meaningful footprints in the mess. These everyday choices, when studied and analyzed, form patterns that reflect how we live and adapt.

Shaped by Internal and External Forces

The emerging patterns depend on two factors: internal factors related to conscious and unconscious human behaviours, and external factors, including the choices presented to us.

From Patterns to Possibilities

When patterns are extracted, they give us a better understanding of what the optimal choice architecture should be and what humans’ responses are likely to be.

The Power of Data Science

That’s the beauty of data science. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about using data to better understand human nature, to help those who set up the available choices and those who make them.
