Led a product development team of data scientists in the roles of product owner, project manager, scrum master, lead developer, and lead data scientist.Our product was a software toolkit facilitating the validation of machine learning models covering aspects of model interpretability, stability, and fairness. The package, written in Python, was developed.

Worked directly with business partners to translate high-level business requirements and constraints into a successful implementation of a data-driven model for a cross-enterprise customer value program.Conceptualized and delivered an automated alert system with an interactive front end for anomalous data detection as a proof of concept (POC) for partners.

Delivered an ML scoring model and investigative tools for combating terrorism financing as part of an Agile initiative.Developed a hardware store client segmentation model connecting the highest-value clients with their preferred credit card as a poof of concept.Team lead for the development and deployment of the `Knowledge Shop', an enterprise-wide.

I led a team in commissioning a new detector system for fundamental research. We identified several deficiencies in the current design via a program of systematic measurements and simulations, and will be preparing a scientific article shortly summarizing our findings.I was the primary responsible for the ongoing development of the software, written in.

As a postdoctoral researcher working on the WITCH project at CERN I helped refine and improve the existing experimental setup prior to taking a large data set. Following the experiment I was responsible for developing cleaning and analysis software in ROOT and C/C++, and led the investigations that resulted in the successful interpretation of this data.
