Data Scientist • UBC Master of Data Science • Former Corporate Banker • Risk, Analytics, Decision-Making
Data Scientist with a Master of Data Science (UBC) and 10 years of corporate banking experience. Built end-to-end ML pipelines on 73M+ row industrial datasets, developed LLM-powered applications, and submitted research to the MSR 2026 Mining Challenge. Combines strong statistical modeling skills (LightGBM, XGBoost, logistic regression, Monte Carlo simulation) with domain expertise in financial risk assessment and credit analytics, translate complex data into actionable business decisions.
I am especially interested in work at the intersection of:
- data science
- risk analytics
- finance
- decision-making
- applied machine learning
- Machine learning projects with practical business context
- Risk and decision-oriented analytical problems
- Data visualization and interactive dashboards
- Reproducible analysis workflows
- Projects that connect technical work with real-world decisions
