Experience
Senior Analyst – Data Science, Media at IHS Markit July 16 – Present
I specialise in making data more useful and more visible to our customers and analysts through database structure and regression forecasting models:
– Structuring: I am restructuring the way in which data is collected, stored and accessed by analysts. I am creating a protocol tying together Excel, MySQL and R. This is reducing computation time and data errors.
– Forecasting: I am working on forecasting models using the created database (MySQL) with analytic software (R). The results are for both analysts internally and external clients
– Development: review both structure and forecasting to further streamline and improve the forecasting of analysts. I am concurrently leading a project to develop an analyst platform (Shiny). This plugs into our database server Red Hat Linux distribution.
Developer and Consultant, Tax & Finance at Thomson Reuters Dec 14 – July 16
I specialised in consultancy on a joint venture between the Tax and Finance divisions for the Foreign Accounts Tax Compliant Act (FATCA).
- Development: liaise with accountancy partners to produce tax software that meets compliance. This involves working with relational databases in MSSQL (Microsoft MTA 98-364 Certificate). Maintained classes created in Python and R for data analysis.
- Review: review division internal process inside professional services to optimise productivity and client satisfaction.
Private Tutor, Tutorfair Oct 14 – Present
London, United Kingdom
I specialise in teaching university level statistics and computer programming, though I offer lessons across all ages in science and mathematics.
- Planning: tailor lessons and work specific to students and clients
- Management: manage clients and timetabling to maintain business
- Support and review: assist undergraduates in strategically and successfully completing assignments, specialising in statistics and programming.
Quantum Chemistry Research Intern, DESY, Hamburg, Germany May 12 – Aug 12
I worked on a computer programming based project with the aim of designing an automated process to increase efficiency in experimental physics in microwave spectroscopy. I also performed testing and acquiring of results from experiments in the laboratory.
- Funded scholarship awarded by DAAD – German Academic Exchange Service
Idustrial Placement in Micrometeorology, SLF, Davos, Switzerland Jul 11 – May 12
I worked on statistical error analysis of meteorological field data. This was using Fourier analysis, statistics and computer programming. Other duties involved: data entry, data mining, assisting in experimental set ups and data acquisition with their wind tunnel and on field sites.
