Available to hire
Hi there! I’m May Cooper, a data & ML professional with a strong mix of analytics, software engineering, and cloud skills. I hold an MSc in Analytics with a focus on Data Science and another MSc in Computer Science (ML), plus a BSc in Cloud Computing and a BSc in Computer Science, and I’m currently pursuing another MSc in CS - ML. Over 7+ years, I’ve designed and deployed ML solutions, data pipelines, and scalable cloud architectures, delivering measurable outcomes for finance, real estate, and tech platforms. I maintain a portfolio of 60+ projects and a broad set of certifications, spanning AWS, Azure, GCP, data science, DevOps, and software development. I’m passionate about turning data into actionable insights and building robust, reproducible systems that empower teams and executives.
I thrive in cross-functional teams, translating complex data challenges into practical, high-impact solutions. I enjoy mentoring peers, exploring new ML techniques, and continuously improving the reliability and speed of data-driven decision making.
