I'm looking for a remote data science role where I can own the full modeling lifecycle from exploratory analysis and feature engineering to model evaluation and delivering actionable insights to stakeholders. Ideally at a company where data is central to product or business decisions, not an afterthought.
Katherine Susy Tomala Panchana
@katherinesusytomalap
Data Scientist building end-to-end analytics and ML systems that turn data into business decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Data Scientist with 3+ years of applied analytics and ML experience across retail, pharma, consulting, and construction. I build end-to-end data solutions—from ETL pipelines and SQL transformation logic to clustering models, forecasting systems, and self-service BI dashboards that influence business decisions.
In my recent work, I’ve delivered production-ready pipelines using DuckDB/BigQuery and multi-table SQL transformation logic that feed directly into model training. I also design data quality standards and documented ETL workflows to ensure reproducible analytics across data and ML teams.
I translate models into real operational impact through forecasting and self-service dashboards, including solutions that eliminated stockouts across 100+ pharma SKUs over consecutive quarters. I pair Python-based predictive work with BI reporting (Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio) to make insights actionable for leadership and executive stakeholders.
Across Agile environments, I collaborate with ML, PMO, and executive stakeholders to define requirements, validate data integrity, and iterate quickly based on feedback. My approach stays grounded in measurement—reducing delays, improving capacity, automating reconciliation, and turning complex data into clear KPI-driven storytelling.
