Karan Homayounfar
Data Scientist & Developer

MSc Data Science student at UWE Bristol. I build systems that go from raw data to production - pipelines, models, APIs, and web platforms. BSc Computer Engineering, ranked 1st in graduating class.

Currently working on an AI-powered phone reception system for clinics (UWE Enterprise Scholarship, £1,000), and forecasting GB Balancing Mechanism costs with machine learning as my dissertation. Both involve real data, real constraints, and real deadlines.

I also build and deploy complete web systems end-to-end, from first commit to production. Everything I ship is live and in real use.
