Bioinformatics & Aspiring Healthcare Data Science professional skilled in applying machine learning, statistics, and explainable AI to real-world problems in pharma, precision medicine, genomics, and clinical research. With hands-on experience in Python, R, SQL, statistical modelling, QC workflows, metagenomics, and clinical datasets, I build data pipelines and evidence-based insights that support scientific and medical decision-making.
My project portfolio covers:
• Clinical ML & XAI: Built end-to-end ML and SHAP/LIME workflows for differential diagnosis using CBC data; deployed models using Flask.
• Genomics & Metagenomics: NGS/ONT data QC, host removal, and microbial profiling pipelines using Linux, Bash, Kraken2.
• Computational Biology: Conducted RNA-seq differential expression analysis (DESeq2) for cancer transcriptomics.
• Data Engineering Foundations: Data preprocessing, EDA, feature engineering, statistical validation, reproducible scripts.
I blend computational skills with strong biological understanding to create scalable, interpretable, and clinically relevant data solutions. I’m passionate about contributing to:
🔹 Pharmaceutical analytics
🔹 Clinical and real-world data science
🔹 AI/ML for diagnostics & drug development
🔹 Genomics and precision medicine
🔹 Healthcare innovation
Actively seeking opportunities in Data Science, Bioinformatics & Healthcare Analytics within pharma, biotech, and digital health, where I can contribute to impactful, patient-centric outcomes for improvised healthcare and precision medicine.
