Work Experience

2019 - PRESENT

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.
