At Uber, I designed data-driven payment systems that ensured seamless transactions for millions of daily trips.

I conducted experiments on products affecting over 20 million daily trips, contributing to more than $10 million in combined annual gross bookings.

At kencko, as the first Data Scientist and early employee, I established the data architecture, created ETL pipelines and implemented BI tools.

During my tenure, I worked closely with the CEO and CBO on data for the Series A funding, which was featured on TechCrunch.

At Geoblink, I utilized geolocated datasets to build Machine Learning models predicting the unemployment rate and disposable income of households.

Additionally, I built ETL pipelines on Airflow to fetch, transform, and store data, contributing to model development.
