Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Kahn is a Senior Data Scientist based in Denver with nine years of experience turning messy data into actionable, production-ready models for financial services and compliance. He has led small teams and served as product owner for real-time fraud and AML detection platforms at Western Union, combining Python, scikit-learn, and pragmatic engineering to improve high-stakes decisioning. Trained in mathematics, economics, and actuarial science, Tim excels at "needle-in-a-haystack" problems—designing solutions for severely imbalanced classes and rare-event detection. Early actuarial work sharpened his instincts for rigorous validation and automation, saving costs and compressing reporting timelines through practical tooling. Now open to new opportunities, he brings both hands-on modeling skills and product-minded leadership to tackle difficult business problems. An unassuming plus: his restaurant management experience honed operational leadership and customer-focused thinking in fast-paced, loosely structured environments.
