Zech George

Data Scientist building forecasting systems and ML pipelines. A decade in financial data โ€” now applying that rigour to predictive modelling and AI.

The story so far

I've spent over 10 years working with data in financial environments โ€” building dashboards, validating systems, and turning messy records into something organisations can actually act on.

That background gave me something most pure data science graduates don't have: an intuition for what business decisions actually hinge on, and what "good enough" really means in practice.

I'm now completing a Level 7 Career Accelerator in Data Science, Machine Learning & AI at the University of Cambridge โ€” working through forecasting, deep learning, and model evaluation, and building the technical toolkit to match the business experience.

My current focus is time series forecasting โ€” understanding demand patterns, building and comparing model architectures, and connecting analytical outputs to decisions that matter.
