Hi, I'm Fathima Salga 👋

Women in Data Science

Data Scientist · Machine Learning · Python · AI

Physicist turned oceanographer turned data scientist — I bring a scientific instinct for patterns and a researcher's rigour to ML and AI.

I build end-to-end intelligent systems: from raw data to deployed models, from EDA to Streamlit apps, combining computer vision, NLP, and generative AI to solve real-world problems.

📍 Kochi, Kerala  |  🔗 LinkedIn  |  💻 GitHub


🧭 Background

BSc Physics (9.24 CGPA) → MSc Physical Oceanography, CUSAT (8.29 CGPA)
→ Project Associate, DRDO-NPOL (Python + MATLAB on large-scale satellite data)
→ Data Science & AI (now)

An unconventional path — and a deliberate one. Scientific computing at DRDO gave me hands-on experience with real, messy, large-scale datasets long before I wrote my first ML model. That foundation shapes how I approach every data problem.
