Sample Response: Associate

As a Data Analyst at FinTech Solutions, my role involves using Machine Learning strategies to build financial forecasts for our clients. Recently, I worked on predicting the future revenue of a company based on past financial data.

We chose to adopt the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm, as it’s ideal for analyzing time-series trends due to its ability to remember patterns over long periods. This ML model was built using Python's Keras library, and the dataset was processed using Numpy and Pandas.

The final product was a robust financial forecasting tool that produced reliable quarter-ahead projections. The client was able to use this tool for strategic planning and risk management, which played a vital role in their decision-making process, encouraging their confidence in us as their financial advisors.
