  Jun 2020 - Nov 2021

  - Working closely with Product Owners to design a model that would score consistent behaviour based on activity.- Customer Tailored Frequency-Severity Risk Modelling: during the project I worked closely with the customer to convey information that their dataset contained and how to harvest its optimal value.- Weather Scores: I built a model that compares the exposure of a vessel type in a particular weather against the typical exposure of its peers, and from these two distributions, a neat score from 0 - 100 was outputted that reflects a risk. The model is based on statistical equations that were tailored to factor for different weights and scale.- Features: researching and calculating new features as required by customers but also important features that prove to provide value during Exploratory Data Analysis.- Research: currently conducting research on merging SHAP values from multiple model without re-fitting.
