- Drive high-visibility analytics projects end-to-end—from initial scoping and data extraction to model building, testing, validation, and executive presentation.
- Develop intuitive dashboards and visual reporting frameworks (using Matplotlib, Seaborn, Tableau, Grafana, etc.) to translate complex model output into key executive metrics.
- Serve as a consultative technical partner to Consumer, Network, and Strategy teams, translating business challenges into data science workflows and presenting actionable recommendations to leadership.
