About

Everyone is lending and Everything is FinTech. This has been accompanied by increasing complexity in how loans are serviced and collected. Prodigal is innovating the lending lifecycle from funded to paid-off - a little bit every day and then drastically. Come join us!! Prior to Prodigal, I led Data Science & Analytics for Fundbox, a lender in SF. Working at Blackstone and trained an engineer means its a lot of fun working at the confluence of the two; FinTech.

Zest ai

Data Scientist - Intern

May 2014Jun 2014 · 1 mo · Greater Los Angeles Area

  • At ZestFinance, I worked with Sr. Data Scientist to improve their credit scoring model.
  • Specifically, I studied the visitors to ZestCash.com and built hypothesis about the nature of applicant webpage interactions. I identified signals that were statistically significant predictors of default rates (back-tested on c. 150k historical applications). We integrated the findings with the risk model to show a meaningful $ impact for each loan.
  • Over the summer, I ended up making friends across the engineering, marketing and analysis teams.
  • I blogged about my summer experience at http://www.whartonfintech.org/blog/zestfinance-and-my-internship-fintech/
