Experience

Nov 2021 - now

LeasePlan UK

Data Scientist


Working with risk score data to build data-driven solutions that help reduce the risk associated with accepting a candidate for a lease.

Jun 2020 - Oct 2021

Motix-Connected

Data Scientist


Working with vehicle telematics crash data, I maintained and lead machine learning projects, such as crash driver liability and accident severity prediction within the crashmatics group. Obtained AWS experience as well as experience in full-stack ML-deployment, from data preprocessing to model to API. More specifically refining the business problem and data into pre-processing steps, feature engineering, model training and deploying the model in a CRISP-DM-type lifecycle. The technology stack used includes Python, Bash scripting and AWS for storage and deployment. Specific technologies used also include MLFlow and Docker, for development tracking and deployment respectively.

Jun 2019 - Jul 2019

Ogden Trust Fund

Teach Physics Intern


Taught science classes, built interactive tools using Python to enrich the experience in class. A great opportunity that improved my communication & mentoring skills.

Other Abilities

I've been fortunate enough to have a wide variety of experiences, which always helped keep me occupied and learning. This variety of experiences has helped me occupy soft skills as well as long-term hobbies. Some of them include:


  • Tutoring/Teaching Physics & Mathematics || 2 years
  • Music Education || 6 years


Other miscellaneous soft skills include building fun projects on arduino boards when I was 13-14 years old and a PID controller for controlling a heating unit at university.
