Data Scientist

Korea Foods · Greater London, UK
Oct 2024 - Dec 2025 · 1 year 2 months

<ul><li>Served as the sole data scientist to architect and deploy the organization’s first unified stock data foundation and integrated operational systems, establishing mission-critical capabilities that did not previously exist. </li><li>Contributed to a £3.9M revenue uplift (£78M turnover company) and saved 5,200+ staff hours annually by institutionalizing governed, end-to-end systems; these replaced fragmented manual processes with accurate, data-driven operations and enabled proactive business planning and response. </li><li>Data Foundation: Achieved 100% automation of stock data recording by engineering a unified platform that eliminated manual processes. Built a PySpark-Parquet ETL engine to ingest 6 years of 41M+ historical records, saving 140+ annual staff hours through a SQL agent scheduler.</li><li>Forecasting: Designed a dual-scenario stock time-series forecasting framework (SARIMA vs. Momentum) to bypass distorted sales signals, enabling reliable item-level out-of-stock risk assessment tailored for 4-month import lead times.</li><li>Unified Operational Layer: Architected a unified operational layer for 30+ cross-functional staff across purchasing, inventory, finance, retail, and logistics using SAP T-SQL and VBA, establishing a single source of truth that eliminated data discrepancies and enabled high-integrity reporting for C-suite decision-making.</li><li>Anomaly Detection: Engineered anomaly-detection frameworks that identified systemic SAP COGS calculation failures and irregular membership-claim patterns (£700K) reviewed by the CEO/CFO.</li><li>AI Automation: Designed an LLM-driven multi-agent purchasing workflow that integrates stock forecasting outputs and supplier & product history to generate structured analysis reports, internal purchasing request documents, and automated supplier-facing drafts, scaling consistent and context-aware decision-making, reducing the team's manual workload by 50% and saving 2,800 staff hours annually.</li></ul>
