Hi, I'm Ali Zarreh

Senior Data Scientist | AI/ML Engineer | Tech Leader

Welcome to a world where data unlocks endless possibilities. As a Senior Data Scientist with over a decade of experience, I specialize in transforming complex business challenges into elegant AI-powered solutions. My expertise spans from building scalable machine learning systems to architecting cutting-edge generative AI applications.

I've led cross-functional teams in developing enterprise-grade forecasting engines, optimization platforms, and intelligent document systems that have driven millions in business value. Whether it's reducing forecast errors by double digits, cutting computational costs by 70%, or building next-generation RAG systems, I'm passionate about leveraging data science to create tangible impact.

Currently focused on the intersection of LLMs and enterprise applications, I'm exploring how generative AI can revolutionize how we interact with data and automate complex workflows.
