Biography

I am a Teaching Assistant for UCL’s MSc in Business Analytics, supporting the MSIN0143: Programming for Business Analytics module. Most recently, I worked with Sony Europe (UK) on end-to-end machine learning, where I took ownership of building an automation platform to automate ML and data engineering pipelines and productionisation. I also worked with cutting-edge models to enhance forecasting, achieving significant improvements in both accuracy and runtime. I look forward to bringing these applied experiences back into the academic context to help deliver the module.

Beyond Sony, I have over a decade of experience spanning both technology (AI/ML, data, and software development) and business (product management, strategy, and AICPA-CIMA). I have built end-to-end products hands-on and also led cross-functional product teams of 5–15 people. My contributions have been recognised by leading global institutions, including the United Nations (UNDP), the British Computer Society (BCS), and the IEEE. I also have an academic background in the said areas (BSc (Hons) Computing and AICPA-CIMA) from the UK, and pursued an LL.B. (UK) for intellectual curiosity.

I have also spent more than four years as a senior lecturer in higher education, where I trained both technical and non-technical professionals to apply AI/ML in solving real-world business problems.
