ABOUT ALVIN
I’m an analytics professional with 9+ years of experience spanning data science, model development, and portfolio strategy. Currently at EQB, I lead the design and integration of next-generation IFRS 9 credit risk models across retail and commercial lending, driving more accurate measurement and forward-looking insights. Previously, I was part of Scotiabank’s Global Strategy & Transformation team, where I managed data scientists, analysts, and SMEs to modernize how credit risk is measured and monitored — from building advanced analytics frameworks to implementing big-data infrastructure and onboarding strategic datasets. Earlier in my career, I developed data science solutions within Scotiabank’s Digital Banking & Technology group, including the bank’s first complex event processing application powering real-time marketing campaigns. My expertise spans data science, machine learning, and credit risk strategy, with hands-on experience in Python, R, SQL, Hadoop, Hive, and DevOps tools (TeamCity, Jenkins). I’m passionate about building scalable analytics solutions that bridge technical innovation with business impact.
