Researched, developed and put into production machine learning models for Motor Claims and Fraud Prevention. Lead in the implementation of Machine Learning across the business. Mentored data scientists and supported in the recruitment of members for the data science team.

• Built machine-learning models for credit risk, fraud and collections.
• Built and curated SQL reporting code following compliance.
• Used Python (scikit-learn, pandas, scipy, numpy, matplotlib, keras) and SQL (PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL).
• Statistical hypothesis testing for different PoC implementations.

• Generated insight and designed solutions through open source software and algorithms following briefs from clients, including identification of trends and patterns and building of predictive models (ARIMA models for forecasting and machine learning algorithms: regression, trees, SVMs).

• Delivered presentations to and collaborated with senior business stakeholders.

• Employed a variety of models (linear and logistic regression, ARIMA models, SVMs, trees) and tools (Python, R and… Mehr anzeigen
