I am an AI Engineer and Data Scientist with more than seven years of professional experience in data science, machine learning, analytics, optimization, and artificial intelligence. I earned a Master of Science in Business Analytics/Data Science with honors from the University of Texas at Dallas and a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science Engineering. My professional work has included Python, SQL, machine learning, time-series forecasting, generative AI, large language models, AWS, data visualization, and operations research. I currently work as a Data Scientist at Southwest Airlines, where I lead and contribute to large-scale AI and analytics projects involving forecasting, LLM applications, and enterprise data systems.
My teaching experience comes primarily from professional mentoring, technical leadership, and training in workplace settings. As a technical lead and product owner, I have helped colleagues understand analytical methods, model logic, data pipelines, and technical systems, and I have created documentation and training to help both technical and business users successfully adopt new tools. I also mentor other data scientists and regularly explain complex technical concepts to people with different levels of technical experience.
My tutoring approach focuses on understanding rather than memorization. I like to break difficult concepts into smaller pieces, explain the intuition behind them, and then reinforce that understanding with practical examples. For subjects such as Python, SQL, data science, machine learning, and AI, I encourage students to work through problems with me so they develop the reasoning and debugging skills needed to solve similar problems independently. I am especially well suited to college students, graduate students, career changers, and working professionals who want to strengthen both their theoretical understanding and practical skills.
