About ryan
Who I Am Innovative and results-driven Sr. Data Scientist with 8+ years of experience in designing and implementing machine learning models, leading teams, and delivering data-driven insights to drive strategic decisions. Proficient in Python, SQL, and cloud platforms, with a passion for leveraging AI to solve real-world problems. My Impact In my current role, I spearheaded the development of a machine learning model to set auto bodily injury reserves, driving a substantial impact on total reserves for the company. Building on this success, I am now leading the creation of a separate model tailored to the underinsured/uninsured claim population, further enhancing operational efficiency and accuracy in financial forecasting. Previously, at OptumRx, I developed machine learning solutions to tackle pharmacy fraud, waste, and abuse, proactively identifying bad actors in the pharmacy network. During this time, I also led a small team of junior data scientists, providing mentorship and guidance to deliver high-impact projects while fostering their technical and professional growth. What Sets Me Apart Known for my expertise in uncovering key insights from large, complex datasets and translating them into actionable strategies, I excel at building machine learning solutions that drive business efficiencies and enhance operations. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can mentor others, design innovative products, and deliver impactful outcomes. Where I'm Going I am eager to step into a Sr./Lead Data Scientist role where I can combine my technical expertise and leadership skills to drive strategic initiatives. I am particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to lead teams, build innovative data-driven products, and tackle complex business challenges. I value collaborative environments that foster growth, creativity, and the opportunity to make a measurable impact on the organization.
