Hi, I'm Carina De Souza
Computer Science Engineer
Full-Stack Developer | MSc Data Science · Lancaster University
I build end-to-end technology solutions from production backend APIs and full-stack web applications to machine learning pipelines and data-driven insights. With a Computer Science Engineering degree and an MSc in Data Science from Lancaster University, I bring both engineering rigour and analytical depth to every problem I work on.
About Me
I'm a Computer Science Engineering graduate and MSc Data Science student at Lancaster University, with hands-on experience across the full technology stack — backend development, machine learning, and data science.
At Parallel Process LLP, I worked as a full-stack software developer, building and integrating APIs using Meta and Reddit's platforms, developing scalable backend systems in C#/.NET, and managing data with MongoDB. That role taught me how to ship real, production-grade software under real constraints.
On the data science side, I've built a product recommendation system for Amazon review data using collaborative filtering techniques, co-authored a research paper on benchmarking AGI progress and its governance implications, and I'm currently developing a machine learning model for drug-drug interaction prediction.
What makes me different is that I don't just analyse data — I can build the systems around it. I write the APIs, design the pipelines, and deploy the applications that turn insights into products.
What I Do
Data Science & Analysis
I analyse complex datasets and derive actionable insights using Python and R. I build data visualisation dashboards and reports using Power BI and Tableau to communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Web Development
I design and build full-stack web applications using React, Next.js, .NET Framework, C#, TailwindCSS, HTML, and CSS. I focus on creating fast, scalable, and user-friendly interfaces backed by robust server-side logic.
Software Engineering
I build applications and software solutions using Python, Java, C++, C, and C#. I apply strong foundations in algorithms, data structures, and system design to write efficient, maintainable, and production-ready code.
UI/UX Design
I design intuitive user interfaces and experiences for websites and applications, focusing on usability, accessibility, and visual clarity. I use Figma to create wireframes, prototypes, and polished design systems.
What I Bring To Your Team
I'm a full-stack developer and data scientist actively looking for roles across the UK, India, and remote-first teams at startups moving fast and large companies solving hard problems. I bring a rare combination of software engineering rigour and data science capability, and I'm ready to contribute from day one.
End-to-End Thinking
I don't just build models or write code in isolation — I think about the full pipeline, from raw data to deployed product.
Fast Learner
From C#/.NET in production to MSc-level machine learning research, I adapt quickly and pick up new stacks and tools with minimal ramp-up time.
Team Player
I've collaborated on real client projects, academic group research, and open-source contributions — I know how to deliver as part of a team.
Impact-Driven
Whether it's a data science model predicting drug interactions or a backend API serving real users, I care about building things that make a measurable difference.
