Portfolio

Long form 1

Streamlining online form with machine learning

I delivered a huge cost saving for a customer in the recruitment field by implementing a machine learning model to infer values from jobseekers' resumes, allowing them to remove fields from the online form and increase the conversion rate.

Clinical trials analysis

For one pharma company I developed and trained a deep learning tool to predict more than 50 output variables from a clinical trial protocol. This allows pharma companies and regulators to analyse and quantify large numbers of protocols, allowing more accurate cost estimation.

Vehicle unloading times at Tesco

I trained a simple regression model that would predict the unloading time of any future delivery at the time that the schedule is being generated.
