Performance Analyst & Engineering Co-op
LIBERTY UTILITIES
– Implemented analytics solutions with the performance and engineering teams, utilizing Python, advanced Excel, pivot tables, and Tableau to optimize wind turbine performance.
– Led aerodynamic studies on blade angle adjustments across 89 turbine sites, harnessing fluid dynamics simulations and realizing operational cost savings of over $575,000 (USD) per site.
– Utilized anomaly detection techniques, like One-Class SVM and Isolation Forest, on diverse weather datasets extracted from various APIs, creating predictive models to pinpoint ice accumulation and abnormal turbine operations. Achieved a notable reduction in downtime, averting around 150 hours per turbine.
– Automated data mining for wind speed insights from multiple sources, employing APIs and web scraping with BeautifulSoup and Selenium, enhancing the understanding of wind patterns for informed wind turbine site selection.
2021
Data Scientist
DBS BANK
– Fine-tuned an NLP-driven chatbot using SVMs, spaCy, and NLTK, achieving 94% accuracy for Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong corporate clients, addressing 80% of inquiries and substantially reducing support calls.
– Designed an early warning system that detected over 95% of non-performing SME loans ahead of 3 months of credit stress, safeguarding more than $700 million (SGD).
– Designed and maintained ETL data workflows in Hadoop, Hive, and Spark, employing Python, R, Java, SQL, and Jupyter on Cloudera.
– Implemented agile methodologies and ML-Ops, partnering with diverse teams, and utilizing Git, Subversion, JIRA, and Confluence for streamlined project management.
– Architected 8 Qlik dashboards aiding SME banking in Asia, advancing digitization, customer network analysis, loan oversight, and balance sheet strategies.
