Experience

May 2025 - Present

Senior Data Scientist

AllUnite — Audience Measurement and OOH Analytics

Develop and validate data science workflows for footfall analytics, audience segmentation, and campaign measurement across sensor networks spanning 10,000+ locations in 8 countries. Work spans sensor-data calibration, probabilistic modeling, anomaly detection, and time-series forecasting on passive sensor streams to deliver reliable audience metrics for media and retail clients. Built an MCP-based analytics agent (Claude Code) connecting an AI assistant directly to the data stack and analysis scripts, automating recurring analytical workflows.
