Lead Data Scientist building production ML and AI systems that drive measurable business ROI.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Lead Data Scientist and ML/AI Engineer with 3+ years of experience designing and deploying production machine-learning systems, AI pipelines, and end-to-end data automation. I translate business problems into measurable, automated solutions—then ship them into production.
Currently, I lead the data science function at a US-focused fintech BPO, reporting directly to the CEO and C-suite. I built the team from the ground up and focus on AI-driven internal products and full-stack applications on AWS (Lambda, Bedrock) to optimize lead acquisition, loan origination, and ROI.
My work has delivered clear impact across fintech, consulting, and international development: forecasting models on 1M+ records, audio ML at 85% accuracy, and pipelines that cut reporting time by up to 98%. I also designed and deployed a nowcasting ML model at 82% accuracy to support strategic decisions tied to $2M+ in financial products.
I’m hands-on across the stack—Python/SQL, ETL/ELT pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and AI tooling—while staying strongly collaborative with cross-functional teams. I’m especially motivated by productizing internal pipelines into monetizable, market-ready data products and improving operational efficiency at scale.
