EXPERIENCE
Data Scientist Sept 2022 — Present
Company Y London, UK
• Worked in a cross-functional team with Software Engineers, Analysts, and Product Managers within the
Forecasting and Optimisation domains.
• Developed an ARIMAX model to forecast X, which led to ££ in annual savings.
• Improved our Y algorithm by 10% MAPE error, contributing to ££ savings due to better stock management.
• Delivered a Simulated Annealing optimisation algorithm that better-allocated stock in the supply chain,
showcasing a ££ gain.
• Led the Data Science journal club, where we regularly present and discuss the latest research in the field.
Graduate Data Scientist Sept 2021 — Sept 2022
Company X London, UK
• Produced a suite of CatBoost models to predict YY. I built an automated modelling pipeline in Databricks using
MLflow with optimised training using Bayesian Hyperparameter Tuning (Hyperopt).
• Created a YY model through CatBoost, with demonstrated enhanced accuracy (Mean Absolute Error) compared to
the existing model, with an improvement of 15%.
• Carried research and development utilising NLP Topic Modeling techniques, specifically Bertopic and LDAvis, to
identify key themes within positive and negative reviews.
• Used XGBoost to forecast XX. The model was optimised through Bayesian Hyperparameter Tuning, resulting in an
enhanced accuracy (RMSE) of 80% compared to the previous iteration.
Research Scientist (Intern) Feb 2020 — Dec 2020
Company Z London, UK
• Conducted novel research on accurate temperature measurement by developing the Acoustic Gradiometer. This
device utilised acoustics to measure air temperature gradients.
• Used NI LabVIEW coding software to collect data, autonomously designed experiments, and manually constructed
and soldered acoustic circuit-like boards.
EDUCATION
Master of Physics (MPhys) in Physics with Nuclear Astrophysics: 1st Class (75%), University of Surrey July 2021
