About Me

Marwan Ashraf

Who I Am

I'm a Junior Data Scientist with 1+ year of professional experience designing, training, and deploying machine learning models across the full ML lifecycle. I graduated with a 3.69 GPA from Canadian International College as the second-highest ranked student in my Data Science major.

At SELECT, I built production-grade recommendation systems and time-series forecasting models for telecom networks — managing everything from data ingestion to model evaluation and reporting.

My research on deep learning for skin disease diagnosis has been published across four papers in Springer, IEEE, and Taylor — including a Best Paper Award at AISI 2024.
