I'm a data geek with a deep background in business and management who can bridge the gap between data scientists and business leaders. I drive real business value using artificial intelligence and data analytics to transform organizations.
Professional Skills
Work Experience
Senior Data Analyst
Based in Montreal, I was brought on to build out Zinnia's Canadian presence. I led data analytics initiatives for Property and Casual insurance after the acquisition of Policygenius. I provide strategic analysis to drive profitability of the home and auto insurance vertical, by conducting data exploration, experiments, and long-term initiatives in Bigquery, Python, and Tableau.
Senior Product Analyst
Based in Berlin, I led customer logistics analytics for the largest food delivery company by global sales. I was a strategic advisor to product managers, responsible for embedding data-driven processes and tools within product development and engineering squads.I conducted complex A/B/n experiments that leveraged supervised and unsupervised machine learning, statistics, and big data to guide product feature development, and visualize results with Tableau and Looker. Finally, I built and maintained data science product features and curated data pipelines with SQL, BigQuery, Airflow, and Python.
Consultant
On the Content Services team at Deloitte Digital, I delivered a wide variety of tech transformation projects, from strategy through implementation. I led small project teams and acted as a stream lead for large engagements. My projects focused on digital modernization for organizations, enabling advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and modern information management solutions. My teams worked with dozens of industry partners to implement cutting-edge technology.
Cybersecurity Product Data Analyst
I was the lead data scientist for a new DNS firewall product working with an agile team. I built machine learning workflow with Logstash, ElasticSearch, MySQL, Python, and Kibana to process DNS data in real-time, and hierarchical density-based clustering techniques with Python libraries to analyze millions of daily DNS requests, in an integrated AWS environment.
Database Administrator
Back again at DND, I developed an SQL database and GUI to manage accommodations tracking, alongside a comprehensive project plan to migrate business assets to SharePoint.
Correspondence Officer, Legal Services
At DFO, I was the face of the legal team for internal departments, managing time-critical requests for legal input. I also overhauled an integral JetSQL database.
Developer / Analyst
This was my first foray into AI and analytics. I implemented cloud-based ML solutions for a large oil and gas company, and I was the lead content driver for a number of cloud-based transformation proposals. I also identified new client opportunities for leading DXP solutions. Finally, I created a target operating model for a records management program at a public sector organization.
Records Management
My career started managing the accessibility and security of vast amounts of data using OpenText CS, where I also scripted custom automation tools.
