Available to hire
I’m Yeji Choe, a data scientist with 3+ years’ experience applying machine learning and forecasting to help organisations anticipate demand and act with confidence. I specialise in connecting external signals such as events, weather, and macroeconomic trends with internal data to reveal why demand changes and how to respond.
I blend technical depth with business clarity, partnering with customers to improve model performance, explain results in plain English, and translate predictive insights into measurable outcomes. I thrive on turning complex analyses into actionable strategies that stakeholders can trust.
