Profile Summary

I am a computational scientist specializing in scientific computing, large-scale simulations, and data analysis, with a strong background in astrophysics and high-performance computing (HPC). My work focuses on developing, optimizing, and analyzing complex simulation workflows involving large datasets and computationally intensive models. I have experience working with Python and C/C++ in HPC environments, including parallel computing (MPI) and performance optimization. I can support projects involving: -- Scientific computing and numerical modeling -- Simulation development, debugging, and optimization -- Large-scale data analysis and feature extraction -- High-performance computing workflows (MPI, parallelization) -- Machine learning on structured scientific datasets -- Reproducibility and validation of research results I have developed modular, object-oriented pipelines for processing multi-snapshot simulation data and have worked extensively with real-world, research-grade datasets. My experience includes building scalable analysis tools, improving computational efficiency, and translating complex models into reliable workflows. I am particularly interested in projects involving physics-based modeling, simulation-driven research, and data-intensive scientific applications.
