I'm a Data Scientist

I build ML pipelines for healthcare and ship indie SaaS solo.

Biochemist by training, data scientist by trade. I design, build, deploy, and operate production ML pipelines, indie products, and open-source data tools — end-to-end.

BitSize Learning Ecosystem

A multi-brand learning platform serving daily Japanese and French lessons (BitSize Language) and coding/data-science modules (BitSize Learning). Independently designed, built, and operated end-to-end. Recent additions include a Speak Challenge module with browser-based speech recognition and a JLPT-level Japanese grammar drilling app spanning N5–N1.

Specialties

🧬

Ship ML pipelines clinicians can use

97% glioma subtype accuracy · 78% PHQ-9 variance from EHR

Brain-tumor classification from DNA methylation. Depression-severity prediction from family-medicine records. Pipelines designed for the realities of clinical data — leakage controls, survival modeling, and explainability built in.

🚀

Run profitable indie products solo

2 live SaaS brands · 1 unified Django backend

BitSize Learning (code) and BitSize Language (Japanese, French) both run on a single Django stack with brand detection middleware. I designed, engineered, and operate every layer — auth, payments, content, deploys.

📖

Publish reproducible research

6 peer-reviewed papers · 1 first-author

Co-authored work in genomics, multi-omics integration, and gut microbiome ecology. First-author study in Nutrients (2019). Open code and reproducible analysis pipelines underpin every contribution.
