Head of Data Science

Our startup is a proptech company that aims to revolutionize the real estate industry by leveraging data and technology to bring transparency and simplify the property buying process for our users.

Homebuyers still rely on traditional, offline methods to purchase a property, and often navigate the complex process without the support of dedicated experts. As a result, many buyers lack guidance in what is typically their largest financial investment, making the experience more challenging and potentially costly.

By analyzing vast amounts of data related to real estate transactions, our machine learning algorithms can provide valuable insights into buyer preferences and market trends. Additionally, our platform will automate various aspects of the process, such as property search and mortgage pre-approval, to streamline the process and reduce the time and effort required for these tasks. This approach leads to more informed decisions, helping our users find their dream home more efficiently.
