Data Analaysis
At S&P, I recalibrated a financial model that predicted risk in a pool of mortgages. Over the course of a year, I used SQL, Excel, Python, and R to analyze data and present my analysis to senior management. The result: a new model that was rolled out for use by the entire team.

R
In R, I've also learned to apply machine learning algorithms like the Random Forest to predict outcomes.
