Junheung P.
Data Science Leader @ Ford Motor Company
About
I'm a data science leader with 15+ years experience translating advanced analytics into measurable business outcomes-most recently at Ford Motor Company, where my teams' AI/ML products have delivered $50M+ in ROI. I led a global team while owning end-to-end data science solutions: problem framing, stakeholder alignment, model development, cloud deployment, and monitoring. I'm hands-on technically (Python, SQL, GCP, CI/CD) and focused on pushing adoption-building products that integrate into daily operations and decision makings. Highlights include: - Built a demand forecasting + anomaly detection that improved forecast accuracy by 16% vs. SAP, reducing the cost of back orders. - Designed production grade ML architecture using GCP services to scale, monitor, and CI/CD models. - Developed optimization and risk tools that reduced vehicle production disruption costs by 55% and delivered ~$20M in annual savings. I hold a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and a M.S. in Computer Science, with research experience applying ML/optimization in engineering design and healthcare problems. I'm most energized by roles where I can build strong teams and real products, and provide realizable values to business.
