Data Scientist
turned AI Engineer

I'm an AI Engineer and Data Scientist based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Building on my 4+ years of applied experience in data analytics and 3+ years in full-stack web development, I specialize in taking complex mathematical models and LLMs out of Jupyter notebooks and deploying them as robust, production-ready applications.

I am currently advancing my formal Information Technology education at Kapiolani Community College. This is a strategic step to bridge my analytical data science background with US-standard software engineering principles—allowing me to architect secure, scalable AI systems from the ground up.

Currently seeking CPT part-time opportunities where I can leverage this dual expertise in Data Science and AI Engineering to solve real business challenges.
