Data Driven Decisions
Hello, I'm a Canadian data scientist with 10+ years of experience leading digital transformation initiatives and implementing AI/ML solutions.
I manage cross-functional teams to build scalable IT infrastructure, data pipelines, automated LLM systems, and interactive dashboards to transform data into strategic business intelligence.
Have a look at some of my projects, and let's make things better together.
Projects
Predicting Youtube Dislikes
A complete machine learning pipeline to download / scrape, process, and analyze millions of Youtube data to train a model to predict dislikes and alert the user if a video is potentially probelmatic through a webapp that can process submitted videos.
Sentiment Analysis of Online Platforms
A study of over 1.2 billion raw twitter posts, amazon reviews, and reddit posts utilizing sentiment and keyword analysis to discover important themes each platform focuses their attention on.
Predicting Text Difficulty
Machine learning pipeline utilizing both supervised and unsupervised learning to classify sentences into whether or not they require simplification. Fine-tuned BERT model scored 77.6% on the test set, claiming second place in the associated Kaggle competition.
Open Assistant
Open-Assistant was one of the first open-source alternatives to chatGPT. As part of the data team, I wrote data-collection and processing scripts involving billions of records to create high-quality datasets to train the AI model.
AI Document Automation / PDF Annotation Tool
Built a custom PDF annotation tool to optimize sales document processing. Furthermore, the data collected via the program is stored and used to train a fine-tuned data extraction model to automate document processing
Sawab (E-Commerce Site)
I was a core team member to launch sawab.app, a new e-commerce platform for the industrial sector in the GCC. This involved providing analytical and project management support to align all stakeholders to meet our milestones on-time and within budget.
ERP / CRM Implementation
Managed the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning solution (Odoo) at Sherbiny to consolidate and streamline business operations. This included working with stakeholders, partners, and developers to implement all necessary modules, as well as set up corporate dashboards and other features to greatly enhance our organizational efficiency.
IT / OT Infrastructure Plan
IT / OT infrastructure plan for the new Sherbiny HQ development including networking, security, servers, smart meeting rooms, future factory initiative, intelligent warehousing & manufacturing, as well as integration with other locations using zero-trust SD-WAN / SASE solutions.
Meeting Timer App
I created a minimalist timer that is better for developers that uses JSON to store meeting templates to allow for hot swapping between different meeting structures by just editing text files that I can maintain. The timer largely is built using React for smooth client-side actions.
