Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Leahy is a Senior Data Scientist and Software Engineer based in Sydney with a decade of experience building production ML systems across energy, finance, sports, and mobility. He holds a PhD applying machine learning to wind turbine health and has a track record of turning noisy, real-world time-series into deployed fault-prediction and decisioning systems. Kevin has led end-to-end model development and MLOps—shipping models that now automate credit risk decisions for multi-billion-dollar portfolios and optimise distributed renewable energy at SwitchDin. He blends research-grade rigor (peer-reviewed publications, a reusable WTPHM data package) with pragmatic cloud-native engineering across AWS and Azure. Comfortable translating complex analytics to non-technical stakeholders, he also mentors teams and improves data science practices to scale impact. An unusual strength is his ability to move from field-level energy audits to deployed ML pipelines, bridging domain expertise and production software delivery.
