What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for continuous learning, ideally in a collaborative environment focused on innovative data solutions.

I am a Senior Data Scientist with extensive experience in developing and delivering analytical solutions that enhance financial services. My journey began with a strong academic foundation, earning an MSc in Data Science & Analytics from Brunel University, where I graduated with distinction. Over the years, I have honed my skills in programming languages such as R and Python, focusing on statistical analysis, machine learning, and data visualization.

In my recent role at Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, I led initiatives to improve financial crime reporting through advanced analytics, developing keyword matching scripts and statistical analyses that significantly enhanced the bank's investigative capabilities. My tenure at Deloitte allowed me to work with various banking clients, where I developed machine learning models for credit risk decisioning and sentiment analysis platforms that informed customer retention strategies. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive impactful business decisions and continuously seek opportunities to upskill and share knowledge with my colleagues.
