02 / ABOUT

A profile built across disciplines.

My academic path began in railway transportation engineering and expanded into information technology, data analytics, and artificial intelligence.

Professionally, I build management-oriented BI dashboards and analytical workflows for pharmaceutical and healthcare data. Academically, I study organizational readiness for applying AI in railway freight-demand forecasting.

This combination gives me a perspective that is both technical and organizational: I am interested not only in what AI can do, but also in the data, infrastructure, people, governance, strategy, and culture required to make it work in real organizations.

“The goal is not simply to build intelligent systems, but to understand what makes organizations ready to use them.”
03 / RESEARCH

Research that connects AI with real-world readiness.

My current research focus is organizational readiness for AI adoption, with a transportation and railway systems perspective.
