@bilikisuolatunji
Data scientist specializing in large-scale analytics, ML, and interactive data products.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven data scientist with extensive experience applying machine learning, statistical analysis, and cloud-based data engineering to solve business problems and drive efficiency. I have led projects using Python, PySpark, XGBoost and AWS services to process large tabular datasets (100GB+) and deliver production-ready models and interactive visualizations.
I have a strong background building dashboards and tools with R (Shiny, tidyverse), Tableau and Plotly, and automating data workflows with ETL patterns, Docker, GitHub Actions and Bash. I combine technical depth with stakeholder communication—translating analytics into actionable recommendations that improved project efficiency and reduced manual effort in past roles.
