What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in machine learning and data science.

I am a dedicated Data Scientist II with a strong background in developing advanced machine learning models and algorithms. Currently, I work at Traveloka, where I have successfully developed a Paylater Transaction Scoring system that screens over 3 million applications annually, significantly reducing potential fraud by $600k and generating an additional $300k in revenue. My work involves leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as FastAPI and VertexAI Feature Store, showcasing my ability to blend technical skills with business acumen.

Previously, I served as a Senior Data Scientist at Adira Finance, where I led a team of five data scientists in creating a credit loan decision engine that projected an additional $1.2 million in revenue. My experience also includes developing a large language model (LLM) chatbot to enhance customer service efficiency. I pride myself on my leadership skills, having been involved in hiring and training new talent in the field.

With a Master’s degree in Computing from Imperial College London and a Bachelor’s in Biochemical Engineering from University College London, I possess a solid educational foundation that complements my practical experience. I am passionate about using data to drive insights and improve decision-making processes in organizations.
