What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration in data science.

As a Senior Data Scientist with extensive experience in blockchain technology and machine learning, I have successfully led cross-functional teams to develop advanced algorithms for fraud detection and threat intelligence. My work at TRM Labs has enhanced detection capabilities by 40%, allowing for the identification of complex hacking patterns and fraudulent activities across multiple blockchain networks.

My expertise extends to large-scale data engineering, where I have designed high-performance ETL pipelines that process terabytes of data daily, improving efficiency by 35%. I am passionate about using data to drive insights, as demonstrated by my forensic reports that have aided law enforcement in recovering stolen assets. Additionally, I have developed unsupervised learning models that significantly reduce false positives in anomaly detection, showcasing my commitment to leveraging machine learning for impactful results.

Throughout my career, I have also focused on building personalized recommendation systems and enhancing user engagement through innovative machine learning solutions. My technical skills, combined with a strong foundation in data visualization and analytics, allow me to create interactive dashboards that inform product decisions and improve user retention. I am dedicated to continuous learning and sharing knowledge, having provided technical training for data science teams to foster growth and innovation.
