Dear Rita Gomez,

I am excited to apply for the Data Scientist role at Insight Analytics. I specialize in building ML models that translate data into measurable business outcomes.

At Quantify Labs, I deployed a churn prediction model that reduced churn by 9% and informed product strategy.

I look forward to bringing my experience in Python, SQL, and Airflow to help Insight Analytics scale high-impact data products.

Thank you for your consideration. I would love to share more details of my work.

Best regards,

Liam Patel
