I am a Data Scientist with a unique background in Cognitive Neuroscience. My approach to AI is deeply rooted in the study of complex systems: I don't just see rows of data; I see behavioral patterns.I treat data as a dynamic signal to be decoded.
Leveraging my background in Cognitive Neuroscience, I treat data as a dynamic signal with a rigorous experimental mindset:
- Behavioral Profiling: Treating machine telemetry as a proxy for system "health behavior."
- Pattern Recognition: Identifying hidden "rhythms" in noisy, high-volume datasets.
- Explainability (XAI): Making complex models transparent and actionable for human stakeholders.
| Project | Challenge & Data | Tech Stack (Algorithms & Tools) | Impact & Knowledge Discovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Predictive Maintenance for Urban Mobility | 7.5M Telemetry Logs. Transitioning gates from "fail-and-fix" to proactive maintenance. | ML: XGBoost, CatBoost, LightGBM, RF. DL/TS: LSTM, MiniRocket, sktime. XAI: SHAP. |
Built a Stakeholder Dashboard (Streamlit/Plotly). Isolated maintenance noise from operational stress for Root-Cause Analysis. |
| Shelter Intelligence: Adoption Optimization | Social AI. Identifying demographic and intake factors influencing animal adoptability. | Clustering: K-Means,DBSCAN,Hierarchical . Classification and Regression: Random Forest, Decision Trees, KNN, SVM, LinearRegression. |
Analyzed factors impacting stay duration and adoption outcomes to optimize resource allocation in shelters. |
| NeuroPsy-Research Archive | Behavioral Data Modeling. Mapping clinical traits to cognitive and perceptual performance and body perception. | PsyToolkit, SPSS, Excel. Paradigms: Posner Task, Memory Task, Shelf Task, ECR- 12, AST, STA-Y2,LCSQ, BDS |
Engineered automated scoring for clinical scales and biometrics. Validated "Healthy is Up" metaphor via spatial categorization and BMI correlations. Mapped attachment style-driven biases in attention (Posner), memory (Old-New), and social interpretation (AST) |
