Data Did That!
Gordon Lecture slides — Denison University, October 2019
National Mathematics Festival lecture slides — May 2019
I’m an applied product data scientist who loves helping technical teams make better decisions faster. My work combines metric development, experiment design and analysis, and causal inference with a practical focus on delivering useful solutions. I’m especially drawn to deeply technical problems in areas such as streaming video, biotech, and logistics.
Most recently, I was a Senior Data Scientist at Netflix, partnering with engineers on streaming quality, experimentation, and launch decisions. Previously, I was a Staff Data Scientist at Shopify, where I led the design and analysis of the one-page checkout experiment, and at Zymergen, where I built statistical tools for industrial biotech. Before moving into industry, I was a mathematics professor and department chair. That background continues to shape how I approach difficult problems and communicate complex ideas.
