Data Scientist | AI & Automation
I started as an engineer. Then data stole my heart.
Turns out the hardest problems need both.
Not your typical data story.
I'm Yasi. Engineer by origin, data scientist by a happy accident.
I started out studying materials engineering — the kind where you think about how things are built, why they fail, and what makes them last. Somewhere along the way I stumbled into data science, and something just clicked. I enrolled in a Master's at UTS almost on a whim, ended up graduating with a 6.94/7 GPA, and haven't looked back since.
These days I spend my time building things that help people see clearly — automated pipelines that surface problems before anyone noticed they existed, ML models that assist real clinical decisions, dashboards that turn noise into something you can actually act on.
The engineering brain never switched off. It just found better problems to chew on. Coming from a different background isn't a detour — it's the whole point.
Sun Screen App — Deep Learning for Early Skin Cancer Detection
Award-winning multimodal AI app for early skin cancer detection — built with 6 custom CNNs and a fusion model. 1st Place, iLab Showcase 2024.
Housing Sector Analytics — Statistical Modelling & Insights
Statistical modelling and EDA applied to Australian community housing data — uncovering patterns that informed strategic decisions.
AI Across Disciplines — Embedding GenAI Literacy at UTS
A grant-funded GenAI literacy course built for UTS students across all disciplines. Presented at two national conferences.
Automated Operational Reporting System
An NLP pipeline that automated classification of unstructured operational data — surfacing patterns that manual processes had missed.
The Portfolio Itself
Yes, this website is also a project. Built end-to-end through conversation with Claude Code. No template. Just iteration.
The journey.
