What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior Data Scientist role where I can build and deploy anomaly detection and entity resolution in production, strengthen data quality frameworks, and partner closely with stakeholders across risk, fraud, and analytics teams—open to remote/hybrid.

I’m a Data Scientist with 15+ years delivering anomaly detection models, entity resolution systems, and data quality frameworks, helping teams reduce fraud risk and improve record linkage accuracy. I translate complex business problems into analytical use cases and make model outputs clear for senior stakeholders.

I’ve built and deployed a CPP-based anomaly detection model across Barclaycard UK and multiple international markets, cutting fraud losses and false positives at scale. I engineered a named entity resolution system with fuzzy matching + confidence scoring that was adopted company-wide at American Express for automated address verification and record linkage.

I also design dataset health and remediation roadmaps, including BCBS239 data quality scoring frameworks. Recently, I drove a zero-defect IBM HRIS migration by profiling payroll datasets with SQL, closing 100+ critical defects, and ensuring zero post-go-live production incidents across 200,000+ employee records.
