Summary
Bian Du is a data scientist and machine learning engineer with four years of hands-on experience building production risk and health models across fintech, healthcare devices, and pharmaceutical settings. He holds advanced degrees in data science and financial engineering and graduated top of his class in an MS program at WPI, where he published work on high-frequency trading optimization. At Qudian he led a patented risk exposure prediction project and delivered models that improved approval rates while reducing delinquency, and at OPay he developed credit risk models and monitored production metrics. His background spans time-series forecasting, Bayesian modeling, CNNs for chemical features, and practical ML engineering that cut runtimes dramatically (e.g., 30 minutes to 15 seconds at Pfizer). Beyond modeling, he has taught data science courses and built web interfaces and automated systems, reflecting both product sensibility and strong implementation skills. Based in Beijing, he combines solid statistical foundations with a track record of deploying impactful, efficiency-minded ML solutions.
