    Nov 2016 - Jan 2020 (3 years 3 months)
    I lead a team of data scientists - we build an ML based credit scoring engine for individuals in emerging markets, without prior credit history, based on mobile data from their phones. We use state of the art machine learning techniques with original feature engineering and mathematical modeling to generate an edge in prediction. *We put our money where our model is* - and disburse loans to individuals who are deemed credit worthy! http://fido-solutions.com/
  • Microsoft
    ML Applied Researcher
    Microsoft
    Sep 2015 - Nov 2016 (1 year 3 months)
    I research datasets to construct ML based malware detection models. My work consists of both searching for valuable data, and find the best way to leverage it with state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms (tree based gradient boosting, NN). My work involved considerable feature engineering to make best use of the data.

  • Office of the Prime Minister of Israel
    R&D software team leader
    Office of the Prime Minister of Israel
    Sep 2013 - Sep 2015 (2 years 1 month)
    Leading a team of 3 software developers. My role as team leader requires both excellent in-depth understanding of the bits-and-bytes of all systems the team develops, understanding of the context in which our team operates, and of course, great human relations, in order for the end user to get the best experience of our products. Our projects are in the realm of mission critical near/real time high-throughput IP traffic processing (100+Gb/s), both on x86 (C/C++, multi-threaded ) and network processors (proprietary NP assembly). The role also includes initiation of new projects and inspection of new technologies, and fitting those to the needs of our end client.
