I am Rizwan Karim Rafat, a passionate data science professional with a strong
educational background, holding a Master of Data Science degree from Western Sydney University and a
Bachelor's in Computer Science & Engineering from American International University-Bangladesh.
Throughout my career, I've worked in various roles, including as an IT Support Specialist, Junior Data
Analyst, and Web Application Developer. These positions have honed my skills in technical support, data
analysis, and full-stack web development, giving me a well-rounded experience in solving real-world
challenges.
At Geeks in Sydney, I initially provided hands-on IT support, assisting SMEs with systems and
infrastructure management, troubleshooting technical issues, and ensuring seamless IT service delivery
for applications like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Later, I transitioned into a Data Analyst
role, where I developed and implemented advanced analytics models to optimize pricing, promotion, and
marketing strategies. Collaborating with data engineering teams, I ensured data accuracy through
cleaning and transformation, and I translated complex insights into actionable recommendations for
business stakeholders.
I have always been passionate about learning and applying advanced machine learning techniques. I've
worked on projects that range from comparative analysis of C-VAE and C-GAN models for generating
Japanese characters to predictive modeling of NSW school data using neural networks and support vector
machines. Each project deepened my understanding of data science concepts and helped me explore
different tools and methodologies for solving complex problems.
Outside of my professional life, I love doing street photography whenever I get the chance. It's my way
to destress and capture the beauty of everyday life through my lens.
