Data Scientist with 7+ years in industrial analytics and ML pipeline delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a Data Scientist with 7+ years of industrial experience applying quantitative decision-making and project management at Tengizchevroil (Chevron). I build end-to-end machine learning pipelines using Python, SQL, and PySpark, and deploy models with FastAPI to deliver production-ready analytics.
My work spans classification and regression modeling, rigorous validation (cross-validation, resampling, statistical testing), feature engineering, and model explainability (SHAP). I have led projects that achieved high predictive performance (ROC-AUC 0.923, CatBoost deployments, regression R² up to 0.83) and combined modeling with business-focused simulations to inform investments.
I pair technical skills (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, CatBoost, LightGBM, XGBoost, PySpark) with proven project and engineering management experience—planning, budgeting, risk control, and cross-functional coordination—to drive analytics that are actionable and operationalizable.
