About Me
Data scientist with expertise in machine learning and AI solutions.
Data Scientist & Machine Learning Engineer
I'm Ahmad Refai, a passionate data scientist with a Master's degree in Data Science, Machine Learning & AI from ExploreAI Academy & ALX. With a background transitioning from accounting to data science, I bring analytical thinking and business acumen to data-driven problem-solving.
My journey started with a Bachelor's in Accounting and Finance, which provided me with strong quantitative skills. I've since completed an intensive 15-month data science program where I honed my expertise in machine learning, Python programming, data analysis, and visualization techniques.
Alongside my technical work, I'm also an Amazon Publisher specializing in Arabic calligraphy, demonstrating my creative side and attention to detail. I'm committed to continuous learning and have earned certifications from institutions like Stanford, University of Michigan, and Harvard, covering essential data science topics from mathematics to programming.
