Bio
Char Kwon
I've worked with Hamza very closely in the past 2.5 years. Hamza had been at the very core part of the company because of (1) his business acumen; (2) data science expertise; and more importantly, (3) one of the best work ethics I've witnessed. Result? By the time of his departure, he had the most institutional knowledge in the entire data science org. That's because he understands our business, thinks about how products are interconnected, gets his hands dirty and dives deep into data, and collaborates well with cross-functional team leaders. Needless to say, everyone really enjoyed working with him.

Hamza is always reliable and willing to work. Even when asked to solve problems outside of his working hours he always deliveres. He never said something can't be done, he always came up with an idea how to do it. Recommended highly both as collegue and a person.

Hamza has been one of the strongest and most hard working people I've worked with. He is driven and goes beyond what was asked of him without any external motivation. He has contributed immensely to Turing's internal data science teams as well as other business functions and. He would be a great asset for any team in the future. His hard work, personality and professionalism would be greatly missed.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: • Reported several north star metrics increasing team productivity by 70% • Analyzed funnel movement and suggested steps improving conversion rate by 60% across the funnel • Deployed end-to-end support data pipeline reducing avg. response time by 4hrs & increasing customer satisfaction by 50% 𝗛𝗤: Palo Alto, California, United States 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹: Turing works by bringing together ambitious companies and talented engineers with AI and other data driven techniques. I alongside with other data science team members to optimize & streamline vetting process for both developers and hiring entities. With multi-stage rigorous screening for developers, a lot is going on. Every step possess its own challenges from initial tests and interviews to matching clients and final onboarding. And requires careful inspection of optimization factors to ensure a pipeline highly competitive at testing yet breezy for every other place from from the apex of signing up to the verge of onboarding. While working on comfort of developers eagerly, we put equal time and effort on clients to ensure a swift and reliable experience for them as well. With pre-vetted developers, free 2-week trial and other perks for clients being introduced every now & then are results of data-driven techniques used at Turing. We worked on diversified scenarios revolving around one theme: "What customer satisfaction means in terms of vetting outcomes". We squeezed data into actionable insights and to communicate all these insights efficiently, we built business intelligence reports, dashboards, and interactive visualizations to collaborate faster across teams. As far as working is concerned, its a high-paced, multi-tasking environment with rapidly growing cross-functional teams tackling contemporary & recurring problems creatively and effectively.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:• Built revenue projection models with 98% accuracy • Built data pipeline at 95% less cost as compared to 3rd-party alternatives• Helped grow sales by 30% by building recommendation models• Reduced churn rate by 20% through better targeting by data-driven customer segmentation 𝗛𝗤: Salt Lake City, Utah, United States𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹:As a Data Scientist at CampWest, I spent most of my time analyzing advertisement data from digital marketing (social media & search engines etc.) coupled with sales data to extract meaningful information and provide appropriate advice to the companies to sell their products better. I built AI models to forecast future sales, analyze return reasons, suggest necessary steps to gain & retain more customers and tell how to compete in an increasingly competitive market. Based on historical data analyses I proposed what customer satisfaction means in terms of sales and what time of year is the best to market a product. I investigated how social channels are helping to boost sales and how effective a particular advertising campaign or an email template has been. I spent most of my time figuring out effects of different advertisements streams on the earned revenue, how revenue was being split into different product categories, which customers are buying which types of products, how emails and advertisements about a particular product relate to the sales, customer retention, returns analysis and others. To communicate all these insights clearly and efficiently, I built business intelligence reports, dashboards, and interactive visualizations. Because of my techy responsibilities I did make use of cloud platforms like GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and Microsoft Azure for scheduling recurring scripts, hosting intra-organization file servers, creating data pipelines, gathering data from various sources, feeding real-time visualizations and various tasks automation.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: • Built LSTM based stock price prediction models with 98% trend accuracy & ±2 units mean error under normal circumstances • Retrained Grover model for fake news detection with 96% accuracy • Trained out-of-the-box neural speech synthesis models on 20+ GB datasets & achieved 3x more humanized audio output 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹: Most of my time was spent on a Neural Speech Synthesis System for end-to-end text-to-speech synthesis. Which was designed as a combination of two neural networks. One of them is Tacotron2 that takes text as an input and generates its mel-spectrograms for each syllable loosely based on the frequencies which are produced by human throat while pronouncing it. The other one is WaveGlow which takes those spectrograms as their inputs and produces Waveform Samples. Both networks are trained and tested together and were tightly coupled to form one whole end-to-end speech synthesis system. I also worked on AI side of two more projects. One of them was Trading Software (AI based predictive strategic approach towards stock trading) for which I created models for prediction of prices and worked for scheduled training of models for real-time predictions of stock market trends. Besides, I deployed real-time data acquisition scripts for continuous and real-time acquisition of data for all stocks, commodities, and Forex rates. All trainings and data acquisitions were scheduled and were hosted on DGX machines for uninterrupted running. Other one I worked on was News Revealer (A Fake News Detection & Generation Project) for which I tried and tested various transformer-based NLP models like BERT, Grover, GPT etc. to perform context-based analysis and human like text generations. Text generation was near perfect with a text generated indistinguishable from human written text for an average news reader. Flagging a fake news also had a very decent accuracy and we were working on it. Show less
