Senior Manager of Data Science and Machine Learning Engineering @ Shopify
About
As a Data Science Manager at Teck, I led 3 teams of talented data scientists who delivered digital products that streamlined production optimization and reduced costs. We achieved an annualized EBITDA of $450 million in mining ($1.1 billion across all domains) by applying machine learning and AI to various business problems. I also founded the "Safety Analytics" team, which focuses on safeguarding worker well-being and ensuring the sustainability of the operations. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning with the wider community. I am a regular contributor to Medium, where I publish novel ideas in data science and have been recognized as a top writer in AI. I also mentor aspiring data scientists at Great Learning, where I deliver content on various topics, such as Python, statistics, neural networks, and recommendation systems. I hold a Master of Science degree in Applied Sciences from Simon Fraser University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Sciences from Sharif University of Technology. I completed the Applied Data Science Program at MIT, where I learned advanced skills and techniques in data science.
