Summary

Experienced Data Scientist with a strong background in machine learning model and systems development within a dynamic startup environment. Recognized as an inventor on a patent titled 'System for automated data preparation, training, and tuning of machine learning models,' which significantly reduced feature engineering time from an average of 2 weeks to just 3 hours. Leveraging this automated system, successfully trained, fine-tuned, and deployed over 10 machine learning models to production for client utilization, contributing to a team effort that generated a remarkable $2M lift for a client in a single year. Diligently monitored and periodically retrained models to ensure optimal performance. Possessing a genuine passion for data capturing instrumentation and adept at creating processes that effectively transform raw data into actionable insights.
