About me

A data scientist who fell for building systems people love to use.

I'm Tayyaba, an Airtable consultant & builder, no-code developer and automation specialist with 8+ years of experience. I help teams turn manual, spreadsheet-driven work into clean, reliable systems that run themselves.

From data science to no-code systems

My background is in data science. I earned a Master's in Data Science with a 4.0 GPA and a Gold Medal, after a Gold-Medal Bachelor's in Bioinformatics. For years I built ML and NLP models, production scrapers and ETL pipelines, turning messy, unstructured data into something useful.

Along the way I kept noticing the same thing: the data was only half the problem. Teams needed systems they could actually operate. So I moved into Airtable, no-code app platforms and automation, where I now spend most of my time.

How I think about the work

The best automation is invisible. My job is to understand how your team actually works, design a data model and interfaces that fit, and wire in the automations and AI that remove the busywork.

I pick the right tool for each job instead of forcing everything into one, and I'm honest about where AI helps and where it doesn't. Then I document and hand over, so the system keeps working long after launch.
