Matthew Melendez

Data Scientist with more than 6 years of relevant experience finding creative solutions to problems with a data-driven approach that includes applying multiple machine learning algorithms, data manipulation techniques, and analytics methods. I am able to formalize problems and solutions by expressing them with advanced mathematics, statistics, programming, coding, and models while also keeping them understandable to both technical and non-technical audiences. My experience in academia, and both the healthcare and food service industry has allowed me to skillfully navigate and solve complex challenges to become a well-rounded data scientist able to provide production-level code to meet the business requirements. Committed to professional growth and solving challenging projects, I am a quick learner that has regularly sought to improve both my technical and core business knowledge to become an independent worker who is able to collaborate across teams to solve real-world problems and effectively communicate and present my work to all levels of the organization.
