Hi, I'm Minh Nguyen

Data Scientist

Passionate about applying machine learning, AI, and statistical methods to solve complex problems. Currently developing geospatial analytics and predictive models at Sedgwick.

About Me

From mathematics to data science

My Journey

With a Bachelor of Mathematics (Statistics major, GPA 6.6/7) and currently pursuing a Master of Data Science at University of Queensland, I've built a strong foundation in statistical modelling, machine learning, and computational mathematics.

Currently a Data Scientist at Sedgwick, I specialise in geospatial analytics and location intelligence, working with spatial data analysis, geospatial feature engineering, and proximity-based modelling. My work combines ensemble methods with geospatial techniques to extract meaningful insights from location-based data.

What I Do

  • Build predictive models using ensemble methods and deep learning
  • Develop geospatial analytics and location intelligence solutions
  • Design data pipelines and visualisation dashboards
  • Use statistical analysis to validate and explain model outputs
