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 a GB electricity price spike early warning system as my dissertation. Both involve real data, real constraints, and real deadlines.

Also freelance — I build and deploy web systems for professional clients. If you need something built, I can ship it.
