Lebede Ngartera

AI Strategist & Machine Learning Engineer
PhD in Applied Mathematics · Bayesian & Probabilistic Machine Learning
Founder, TeraSystemsAI · Research in Healthcare & Security

I design and build reproducible, uncertainty-aware machine learning systems for real-world decision-making, particularly in high-stakes domains such as fraud detection, customer retention, and healthcare.

My work bridges peer-reviewed research and production-grade ML pipelines, with a strong emphasis on interpretability, evaluation rigor, and risk-aware modeling.

Applied Machine Learning Projects

🔹 Customer Churn Risk Prediction

End-to-end machine learning pipeline for customer churn risk prediction using real-world tabular data, with a focus on reproducibility, leakage control, evaluation discipline, and explainability.

Decision Intelligence & Operations Research

🔹 Supply Chain Decision Intelligence

Decision-intelligence project integrating probabilistic demand forecasting, constrained optimization, and Monte Carlo risk evaluation for supply chain planning under uncertainty.

The project demonstrates how uncertainty-aware forecasts (P50 vs P90) translate into materially different operational decisions when subject to inventory, capacity, and budget constraints, and how CVaR-based stress testing reveals tail risk invisible to mean-based metrics.

Focus areas:

Forecast-to-decision linkage (forecast quantiles → actions)

Optimization under operational constraints

Risk-aware evaluation using Monte Carlo simulation

Executive-style decision memos communicating cost–service–risk tradeoffs

🔹 Scam Detection via Hybrid Bayesian Models

Implementation and evaluation of hybrid Naïve Bayes–based models for real-world scam detection, derived from peer-reviewed research.

  • Bayesian generative modeling under data sparsity
  • Cost-sensitive evaluation in highly imbalanced settings
  • Uncertainty-aware decision thresholds

Derived from: Hybrid Naïve Bayes Models for Scam Detection (IEEE Access, 2025)
Repository: (in progress)


Research → System Philosophy

  • Research defines what is theoretically sound
  • Engineering determines what is deployable
  • Evaluation decides what is trustworthy

I focus on making tradeoffs explicit and uncertainty visible, rather than optimizing single-point metrics in isolation.
