@jeffouyang

Predictive analytics and data science advisor at Southern California Edison, developing outage restoration and grid service-line detection models.

United States
Message

At Southern California Edison, I develop analytics and machine learning pilots using electrical grid data to improve infrastructure resilience and operational efficiency. My work includes an Estimated Time of Restoration model and a sequential anomaly detection algorithm for customer service-line issues, deployed as an email alert system.

At FICO, I led and collaborated on fraud detection models for bank clients, monitored model performance, and developed data ingestion and ETL programs. I also contributed to a Spark-based modeling pipeline and neural network models for FICO Falcon Financial Crime Studio.

Earlier, I developed credit risk modeling methods and analytical pipelines at FactorTrust and Equifax, and worked on image sensor engineering and image processing at MVC/ProMOS and Eastman Kodak Company. In personal AI projects, I deployed an automated speech recognition system using custom OpenAI Whisper and developed a transaction classification model using transformer text embeddings.
