At Kyndryl, I used statistical machine learning and data visualization to solve complex problems, identify opportunities, and collaborated with teams to meet organizational goals, effectively communicating my findings to all audiences.
At IBM, I applied advanced and predictive analytics across the full project lifecycle, from pre-sales to delivery. I transformed complex data into actionable strategies, earning recognition for my expertise in consulting methodologies and my specialized industry.
I used machine learning and data mining on large client datasets to optimize call-streams by identifying root causes of model errors. I applied quantitative techniques like predictive analytics, customer profiling, and segmentation to solve complex client business challenges.
At Meinhardt, we deliver comprehensive digital master plans for urban infrastructure by engaging clients to resolve data integration challenges. Our team specializes in real-time traffic optimization, devising tolling models, and predictive flood and risk analysis.
I optimized maritime operations by analyzing diverse data from vessel logs, cargo manifests, and spatial imagery systems like AIS and LRIT. This involved enhancing vessel management with digital twins, streamlining port and cargo logistics, and developing efficient fleet routing and traffic analysis strategies to improve overall operational efficacy.
