Currently driving AI and digital innovation in product compliance and sustainability, she has built and deployed geospatial pipelines on AWS and developed interactive ArcGIS dashboards for tree management, urban heat and flood risk analysis.

Comfortable straddling research and production, she combines hands-on Python, Docker and Airflow engineering with domain expertise in chemicals, ESG and spacetech.
