About Me

Hello! I'm Toan "Thomas" Dao, a Senior Data Scientist who transforms complex data challenges into scalable, production-ready solutions that drive measurable business impact.

With deep expertise in machine learning, MLOps, and data engineering, I've collaborated with industry leaders including Unilever, MoMo, and One Mount to architect ML systems that process millions of data points daily.

My passion extends beyond technical implementation to fostering collaborative environments where data-driven innovation thrives. I believe in mentoring emerging talent and building bridges between technical complexity and business strategy, ensuring that every model deployed creates tangible value for stakeholders and end-users alike.
