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.

Python

That project introduced me to the power of data. Since then, I've expanded my abilities. I can define functions and classes and I work with NumPy, pandas, and matplotlib to clean and visualize data.

R

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

SQL

Before any analysis is even run in Python or R, I can pull data from multiple tables and calculate metrics using SQL, making automatic analysis that much easier.
