Work History

Machine Learning Engineer

JUDI.AI
11.2020 - Current
  • Lead project re-design of categorization engine using basic NLP techniques, including regular expression searches, to classify transaction descriptions into 1 of 60 categories using pythons data science and web development library stacks
  • Built word embedding system (word2vec) into categorization engine in order to utilize a semantic map for speeding upstream categorization tasks using PyTorch
  • Researched and designed credit risk models using supervised learning techniques. Achieved over 40% increase in select model performance metrics over traditional loan underwriting.
  • Built model reason code system for credit model auditing for regulatory and client purposes
  • Code owner and maintainer for primary microservice built to serve ML and Categorization needs for product
  • Collaborated across teams to schedule and meet targets, OKRs and sprint deadlines

Machine Learning Engineer

Keela
06.2019 - 11.2020
  • Developed a deep learning model based on an LSTM architecture for a multi-time step input designed for a binary classification task. Optimized to model accuracy and recall to ~90% and ~50% respectively using TensorFlow's Keras API in Python
  • Built ETL pipelines for multiple machine learning products in Python. Gathered data from various sources (non-relational databases and APIs). Wrote E2E tests as well as unit tests for all stages of the pipeline.
  • Utilized unsupervised learning techniques using Scikit-Learn to provide automated and segmented insight into user data.
  • Developed, deployed and actively maintained a data enrichment tool using Flask, Docker and Google Cloud Run
