About Tanzim Taher

OverviewTanzim Taher has a long and diverse career formerly spanning almost 8 years in the development sector and over 9 years in data science, innovation and agritech. Tanzim wants to move the agritech industry to new horizons and is ruthlessly ambitious about innovation and impact. He has led the creation of intellectual property in high growth startups and that has impacted the lives of many people in the agricultural value chain - such as making banks become more accessible to thousands of farmers for microcredit services; and making precision agriculture more accessible to farmers at low cost. When he is not striving to change the world, Tanzim is likely to be found experimenting with music, or engaging in deep dives and meaningful conversations with strangers at cafes.AccomplishmentsAs an experienced data scientist in the start-up scene in Bangladesh and abroad, I have had accomplishments in the following areas over the years: • Designing KYC onboarding processes and credit scoring systems for micro-finance beneficiaries;• Developing BI capabilities and managing BI reporting pipelines for companies; • Running agricultural experiments using IoT, GIS and Remote Sensing to develop better extension services for farmers.• Overseeing the development of machine learning pipelines that deliver impactful and actionable intelligence. • Hiring, managing and training fresh talent to form skilled and performant data science teams in the companies I have worked with. • Raising funds for early-stage ideas for different data-driven products.Roles I have assumed as a Data Scientist• Project Management: Planned and managed experimental roll outs of IoT, GIS and Remote Sensing based advisory services for farmers.• Technical Product Management: Played a central role in aligning Product and Developer teams in the ideation, product roadmap conceptualization and service blueprint planning for different data products and data engineering pipelines.• Technical Mentorship: Played a transformative role in hiring, managing and training fresh talent to form performant data science teams for the companies I have worked at.
