Summary
Philip Kalinda is a Senior Data Scientist with a decade of hands-on experience building ML-driven products and analytic systems across energy, gaming, and enterprise contexts. Based in Leeds, he has progressed from risk and operations analytics to leading data science at PlayStation, delivering time-series thermal models, anomaly and fault detection, NLP for safety reporting, and production-ready Python pipelines. He is fluent in Python and R, experienced with TensorFlow, PySpark, and optimization techniques ranging from genetic algorithms to linear programming and multi-criteria decision methods. Philip combines academic rigour (MSc Business Analytics) with practical engineering—DBT, AWS, Looker and API-driven, PEP8-compliant code for reproducible deployments.
