Work Experience
Senior Data Scientist
BCG Digital Ventures
- Used stereo vision and image segmentation on satellite imagery to aid an infrastructure company in vegetation management. The system was used to map the risk of vegetation encroachment with assets.
- Developed a Twitter analysis dashboard to measure tweet sentiments, a network of influencers, and visualize trends per tag/time to aid strategic designers in research.
- Developed a gradient boosting model for activity classification using sensor data for a supply chain startup. The system was used to track illegal activity at different points in the supply chain.
- Built image classification models for crop recognition and crop pest/disease recognition for a farming startup. The system supported advisory for smallholder farmers in southeast Asia.
- Built a recommender system for a cashback program startup, enabling personalization of content to drive engagement in the platform.
- Created a performance dashboard for a farming startup using Data Studio and BigQuery.
Data Scientist
Toptal Project
- Built an object detection model for medical image analysis using TensorFlow.
- Created a data science strategy for a lending start-up.
- Created a trading Forex back-testing platform using Python and AWS.
- Created Forex trading algorithms using Bayesian machine learning and deep learning with technical indicators as features. Used Python, TensorFlow, and TensorFlow-probability.
