Data Scientist
2018 - 2019Widget Brain- Led retail projects including demographic-based demand forecasting for a large supermarket, roster optimization for a large Australian cosmetics chain, and theatre attendance forecasting for a large Australian cinema company.
- Delivered predictive maintenance models for a large shipping OEM, allowing a 66% reduction in sensors.
- Implemented deep learning extensions (such as LSTMs) to the existing demand forecasting product.
- Built production flows using NodeRed and deployed models using AWS serverless code tools.

Employment
Experience
- Generalized Demand Forecasting Model (Development)
Together with a team of data scientists, implemented and used a data forecasting suite including over 20 different models
- Supermarket Demand Driver Model (Development)
Lead developer of a machine learning model using census demographic data to predict the success of supermarket promotions, expansions, and luxury items in a given area.
- Machines and Trust: How to Mitigate AI Bias (Publication)Unwanted AI bias is already a widespread problem. Machine learning models can replicate or exacerbate existing biases, often in ways that are not detected until release. So what can be done about it?
