About Samuel Varkey

Qlik certified Data Architect and Business Analyst, currently working as a Technology Consultant, specializing in Data Analytics, at Capventis. MSc Management candidate (with Distinction) from Trinity College Dublin, where my thesis/dissertation topic was "Comparison of High-Frequency Trading Algorithms with Machine Learning algorithms on S&P 500, FTSE 100 and emerging market equities". My dissertation compared HFT algorithms with ML algorithms in order to understand which algorithm provided higher returns. I am passionate about using data science to solve problems and enable data-driven decision making. Previous experiences include working as a Data Analyst for Symphony RetailAI and a Machine-Learning Research intern at DRDO (Govt. of India). At Symphony RetailAI, I used analytical techniques to solve challenges for US and Ireland's biggest retailers and CPGs. As an ML intern, I was responsible for optimizing large sensor datasets using ML algorithms.
