Background

About Jackson Barnes

I'm an aspiring junior data scientist, working 10-15 hours per week outside my full-time role to build a career in data science. In April 2023, I graduated from UNSW with excellence, having spent the two years prior studying for a Master's in Data Science. During my studies, I gained exposure to programming, statistical modelling, and machine learning techniques, where I utilised decision trees, neural networks, and ensemble methods to solve a range of regression, classification, and natural language processing challenges. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have over five years of business experience, leading and coordinating engineering and cross-divisional teams. I have engaged with both external and internal stakeholders and implemented change initiatives. My exposure includes identifying and implementing service improvement strategies that focus on uplifting field service capabilities, reducing costs, and improving customer satisfaction ratings through streamlined repair and servicing procedures, customer service structural changes, workflow optimisation, and task consolidation. Throughout my tenure, I have actively contributed to business growth and fostered a culture of development and innovative thinking through onboarding, guidance, and mentorship of interns and junior team members.
