Summary
Oliver Chipperfield is a Senior Data Scientist and team lead with 11 years’ experience building production ML systems and data pipelines across web, energy, logistics and financial services. He combines deep statistical expertise—Bayesian methods and experimental design—with hands-on engineering in Python, Spark, R, SQL and Excel/VBA to deploy and maintain models for credit loss forecasting and fraud detection. At M-KOPA he leads a multi-functional product team owning critical flows, and previously scaled experimentation platforms and logging at Skyscanner and Deliveroo. His background in energy analytics and smart-meter big data gives him a practical edge in forecasting and operational analytics that many ML specialists lack.
