At ZestFinance, I worked with Sr. Data Scientist to improve their credit scoring model. Specifically, I studied the visitors to ZestCash.com and built hypothesis about the nature of applicant webpage interactions. I identified signals that were statistically significant predictors of default rates (back-tested on c. 150k historical applications). We integrated the findings with the risk model to show a meaningful $ impact for each loan. Over the summer, I ended up making friends across the engineering, marketing and analysis teams. I blogged about my summer experience at http://www.whartonfintech.org/blog/zestfinance-and-my-internship-fintech/
