Work Experience

Associate Data Scientist – 360i                                                                                    Jan. 2017 – July 2017

  • Designed and built a production-ready predictive model and optimization system using Bayesian Structural Time Series and a gradient descent optimization module with the aim of allocating budget and improving efficient metrics (e.g. ROAS, CPR)

  • The above system enables non-analytics employees to access key insights in near real-time and potentially saves 40+ hours a quarter per team depending on the frequency of budget revisions

  • Built applications using statistical concepts and machine learning algorithms for forecasting and performance analysis using Python and R

  • Delivered EDA, ROI and ETL analysis for retail and service clients

  • Analyzed and visualized customer’s exposure path using Bokeh

 

Instructional Associate – General Assembly                                                           Oct. 2016 – Jan. 2017

  • Met consistently with students to chart their progress and provide ongoing support

  • Built a recommendation engine for teaching purposes

  • Conducted ongoing student communication around course progress

  • Assisted lead instructor in lesson planning and creation

  • Provided homework support and grading feedback                           

Deal Advisory Graduate Intern – KPMG Nigeria                                                                    Summer 2015

  • Collaborated with fellow interns in conducting research on specific industries in Nigeria and creating reports about these industries for clients

  • Researched and analyzed company and industry reports that will be necessary for the creation of an information memorandum for fund-raising purposes

  • Created data books for clients, which will later be used for due diligence purposes
