Eileen Galido
@eileengalido
Data Scientist developing predictive risk models for lending, optimizing credit decisions, and aligning analytics with regulation.
What I'm looking for
I build and deploy credit risk models for consumer and commercial lending, using classification and PD modeling to improve approval targeting while reducing delinquency. I partner with credit risk and underwriting stakeholders to optimize decision thresholds, and I own end-to-end modeling workflows—feature engineering, validation, and monitoring—to keep models reliable in production. I also integrate generative AI and LLM-assisted workflows (Claude, Genie, Cursor) to accelerate experimentation and automate analytical tasks for faster, higher-quality financial analytics.
Previously, I worked on consumer insights and customer acquisition analytics, translating bank and alternative data into lead generation strategies and dashboards that support targeted marketing and strategic decision-making. I’ve led projects, launched regression and classification solutions at scale, and operationalized ML systems through cross-functional collaboration across compliance, collections, and risk. Earlier in my career, I performed data operations and reporting as a data analyst and delivered tailored statistical modeling as a freelance statistician.
