Summary
Ash Bellett is a Senior Data Scientist based in Melbourne with nine years’ experience building and scaling data-driven platforms across enterprise and product teams. Currently at Canva, Ash blends hands-on ML and data engineering—PySpark, Databricks, Airflow, Dockerized model pipelines—with product-facing responsibilities like feature prioritisation and stakeholder alignment. Previously at Deloitte and IBM they led teams, cut processing times from hours to minutes, and deployed forecasting and anomaly-detection models that materially improved client revenue estimation and fraud detection. Comfortable across languages and stacks (Python, Typescript, Node.js, .NET Core) and cloud-hosted solutions on Azure, Ash pairs technical depth with operational rigor, reducing time-to-production from days to under an hour. Notably, they’ve driven developer tooling and orchestration improvements that shrank deployment times to under two minutes, enabling local deep-learning workflows and faster iteration.
