Summary
Adrian Meyers is a Staff Data Scientist with nine years of experience applying machine learning, statistical analysis, and big-data tooling across fintech and analytics teams in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has led production risk-modeling and impact-analysis efforts using Databricks, AWS, PySpark, and gradient boosting to improve revenue and credit decisions at companies like Kabbage, Intuit, and BILL. His background in astrophysics informs a rigorous, simulation-driven approach—he has applied Monte Carlo methods and clustering to 10+ million-row astronomy datasets and translated that discipline to time series forecasting and feature engineering in commercial settings. Comfortable bridging research and product, he delivers explainable models and value-impact analyses in Agile environments while mentoring peers. Notably, his work has combined deep statistical testing (bootstrap, chi-squared) with practical deployment on big-data platforms to turn complex signals into measurable business outcomes.
