Hi, I'm
Delphin K.
I transform raw data into high-precision predictive systems. From deploying time-series models on the cloud to architecting business-critical BI dashboards, I build data solutions that protect ARR and optimize operational ROI.
Open to New Opportunities
The Person Behind the Data
I don't just build models. I build business answers.
What Drives Me
Faith, family, and the outdoors keep me grounded. As a Christian, I lead with integrity. As a Barcelona fan, I appreciate teamwork and strategy. And whether it's hiking or spending time with loved ones, I recharge by staying active and connected.
Professionally, I'm a Data Scientist & Analytical Engineer focused on the full data lifecycle. I believe a model is only as good as the business problem it solves. My work bridges the gap between complex algorithms and executive-level decision making.
My core stack centers on Python (CatBoost, Scikit-Learn), SQL, and Cloud Infrastructure. I don't just deliver a notebook, I deliver a system whether that's a cloud-deployed forecasting API or a high-precision churn detection engine.
Projects
My work focuses on the intersection of Predictive Systems, Revenue Optimization, and Business Intelligence.
Demand Forecasting
Problem
Bike-sharing platforms struggle to balance supply and demand, leading to missed revenue during surges and under-utilized assets during off-peak periods
Solution
Architected a production-grade MLOps pipeline to forecast city-wide demand with a 12-hours lead time, enabling data-driven dynamic pricing and optimized fleet distribution
Key Outcome
Reduced forecasting error (MAE) by 51% over baseline. Developed the infrastructure to maximize revenue during peaks and stimulate demand during periods of low utilization

Customer Churn Prediction
Problem
Telecom providers rely on Reactive Retention only identifying at-risk users after a cancellation request, leading to significant Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) leakage.
Solution
Developed an end-to-end analytical system using CatBoost and Optuna to transition to a proactive model. Addressed a 73/27 class imbalance via minority upsampling.
Key Outcome
Achieved 0.64 precision on churn risk, identifying the Tenure effect (first 12 months) as the primary window for high-ROI retention intervention.

Automated Credit Risk Engine
Problem
Traditional credit models fail regulatory scrutiny due to hidden algorithmic bias.
Solution
Engineered a fairness-aware decision engine with Disparate Impact Audit pipeline to detect and mitigate bias.
Key Outcome
90.74 RMSE accuracy, 100% Disparate Impact Audit pass
