  • Processed and cleaned 50M+ rows of telematics and mobility data to support accident and risk prediction initiatives
  • Developed predictive models (logistic regression, gradient boosting) to identify high-risk driving patterns, improving risk stratification accuracy by 15%
  • Designed and maintained reproducible analysis notebooks and SQL queries used by the research and insurance-partner teams
  • Produced clear visualizations and dashboards to communicate trends in driver behavior, exposure, and claim probability to non-technical stakeholders
  • Co-authored internal reports summarizing methodology, model performance, and practical recommendations for pricing and risk-management teams
Projects
Telematics Risk Scoring & Dashboard

Used a large driving behavior dataset (speed, acceleration, braking, time-of-day, distance driven) with several million rows. Cleaned and transformed the data, handling missing values, outliers, and inconsistent records. Engineered features such as speeding ratio, harsh braking per 100 km, night driving percentage, and average trip duration. Trained logistic regression and gradient boosting models to predict the probability of an accident in the next 30 days. Evaluated models using ROC-AUC, precision-recall, and calibration plots. Built a Power BI dashboard to visualize risk scores by driver, vehicle, region, and behavior patterns, including filters to simulate improvements in driving style. Documented the full workflow in Jupyter notebooks and a clear project README.
