I have five years of experience using data science techniques to help business strategy and product development across multiple industries, including crypto, marketing, and insurance. My area of expertise involves using novel techniques in data analysis, machine learning, statistical inference, and causal inference to identify and address complex business opportunities, problems, and areas of potential growth.As a manager of data science teams at fast-growing startups, I have collaborated on various aspects of the business strategy, including new product development, anti-fraud initiatives, customer support efficiency, customer lifecycle management, and marketing. In all of these, my goal has been to create models that deliver tangible value to the end-users. To achieve this, I have followed a data strategy framework that involves several steps:1. Problem identification and transformation- Collaborate with stakeholders to determine how to address the problem using the available data.- Translate abstract business challenges into a series of well-defined data science projects.2. Data quality assurance- Work alongside data engineers to ensure that the data used for analysis is of high quality and relevant to the problem at hand.- Identify the data required for building future models.- Conduct exploratory data analysis3. Machine learning model development- Apply novel machine learning techniques to build robust models that can solve the identified problem.- Use appropriate metrics to measure the model's performance and ensure that it meets the intended scope.- Create autonomous and flexible models that are able to future versions.4. Machine learning deployment- Collaborate with MLOps engineers to build the infrastructure required to deploy the models.- Establish triggers to detect different types of model drift and enable automatic retraining when possible.5. Impact evaluation- Design a series of experiments or feature launches to assess the model's impact on business outcomes.- Establish a framework for sharing the results with the business intelligence team.In summary, my experience in leveraging data, machine learning techniques, and statistical inference to solve complex business problems, combined with my ability to collaborate across different parts of the organisation, have enabled me to manage the creation of models that deliver value to the end-users.I am always happy to talk about data science at manucortes95@gmail.com or here www.linkedin.com/in/manuel-cortes-barrios
