Battlefin Alternative Data Science Competition: May 2019¶
1st Place winner in a Data Science competition
Hosted by Battlefin and sponsored by fin tech firm M Science (divisions of the investment bank Jefferies), this open source data science competition attempted to answer the question: why was Tinder gold a viral product?. After competing against 100 other professional data technologists, my market research came in first place. I was awarded a cash prize and invited to the 2019 Data Science discovery day at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.

Guest Lecturer at NYU: Professor Janet Zheng's Data Analytics course: May 2019¶
In response to the award I won for studying Tinder (above), I was invited by professor Janet Zheng of NYU to give a guest lecture at New York University on marketing analytics. This lecture was an explanation on;
- How tinder was engineered to be a viral (and addictive) product
- How data was wrangled & modelled to draw such conclusions
- How marketing and data work together to influence the social dynamics of dating.
