About Me

I am an AI & ML Solutions Engineer specializing in designing intelligent, scalable analytics systems that transform complex institutional data into actionable intelligence. I architect end-to-end data engineering pipelines and agentic AI solutions using Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI Foundry, and Power BI — embedding AI directly at the data foundation layer to drive enterprise-grade decision-making.

Holding a PhD in Computer Science awarded With High Honors, with a research foundation in bio-inspired AI, biometric authentication, and machine learning optimization, I bring rare depth to every system I build. My work spans healthcare analytics, environmental health data engineering, and enterprise AI integration across higher education institutions.

A published researcher across IEEE, Elsevier, and Springer with 160+ citations and an h-index of 6, and a recognized conference speaker with 5 professional IT presentations, I uniquely bridge rigorous academic research and hands-on enterprise AI engineering — translating cutting-edge AI advances into scalable, governed, production-ready systems.
