I am a passionate researcher and educator specializing in Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on Federated Learning for healthcare applications. Currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Derby, I am committed to developing innovative AI solutions that balance technological advancement with ethical considerations such as data privacy. My research explores how Federated Learning can enhance healthcare access by prioritizing patient care based on the severity of medical conditions, all while ensuring data security.

With nearly five years of industry experience as a Software Engineer, Data Scientist, and Quality Assurance Lead, I have worked extensively in the US offshore software industry. My industrial expertise complements my academic pursuits, enabling me to translate complex research concepts into practical solutions.

At the University of Derby, I also serve as an Associate Lecturer, designing and teaching courses in machine learning, data science, programming languages, and advanced security protocols. I am committed to inspiring the next generation of computer scientists and empowering them to apply AI for societal benefit.
