Purpose

what I work on

I came to data from economics. Today I build models and analytics for retail lending at Techcombank: who applies, who gets approved, who is worth calling, who stays, and which levers move those numbers. I'm most interested in the step between a business question and a decision: writing the problem down precisely enough that a statistical model can answer it, then making sure the answer is actually used.

  • Credit risk modelling (PD / scorecards, validation, monitoring)
  • Decision science & optimisation
  • Stochastic processes and probabilistic modelling
  • Production ML systems
