Work Experience
Professional Background
Remote(Auckland)
-
Utilized SQL and Python to analyze raw material procurement logs, identifying suppliers with the lowest non-conformance rates in critical implant-grade alloys (e.g., SS316L, Ti Grade 5 ELI), enhancing supplier selection and reducing quality-related rejections by 30%.
-
Designed a Power BI dashboard and implemented a dynamic reorder alert system based on usage patterns and batch consumption data, optimising inventory turnover for over 30 raw material SKUs.
-
Conducted statistical analysis using R and machine learning techniques to isolate patterns in BMR-stage rejection trends (e.g., improper bending in Proximal Tibia Raft Plates), enabling a 60% drop in defect rates.
-
Applied Agile methodology to collaborate with production and QA teams & analyzed machine downtime logs to trace recurring tool failures (e.g., 3mm endmills), reporting correct actions that recovered over 8 hrs/month of machining productivity.
Data Science Intern
Orion E Solutions
-
Built a supervised machine learning model using Python and R to predict housing price trends with 97% accuracy. Included key property metrics such as land area, floor size, bedroom count, build year, and suburb. Helped improve forecasting and investment planning.
-
Used SQL to extract, clean, and merge over 500,000 records from different data sources. Improved data quality and model performance by 25 percent through consistent preprocessing.
-
Created an interactive Power BI dashboard to display real-time trends in property values, suburb-level growth, and price per square metre. This reduced manual reporting time by 30% and supported faster decision-making.
