Portfolio

Lead Prioritization - Merlin
Lead Prioritization - Merlin

Prioritizing leads was necessary because there were more than 300,000 prospects in the database and only 25 to 30 sales representatives in the organization. To determine the worth of the company and the likelihood that it will close, a straightforward machine learning approach was taken, which included features like size, location, seasonality, prior experience with the company, etc. A 35% improvement in sales productivity resulted from this. I was this project's lead and sole developer.

Talent Profiling - BairesDev
Talent Profiling - BairesDev

The project involved using candidate profiles and curriculums to determine where and if the applicant fits the BairesDev (BD) culture and standards. This judgment was produced based on BD's forecast of standardized test outcomes. I was the primary DS on this project, which merged several NLP approaches (including embedding and TFIDF) with basic Machine Learning techniques. This project is still ongoing and is protected by BD intellectual property.
