Adriano Yoshino is a Senior Data Scientist with nine years of experience applying machine learning, causal inference, and NLP across retail, ad-tech, financial services and healthcare, currently at Harvard Business School. He blends a business-oriented, hacker mindset with strong production skills—building data visualization web apps and dashboards using tools from R Shiny and Plotly Dash to Tableau and Superset to drive measurable outcomes. His background spans end-to-end probabilistic modeling and experimentation, including lead roles delivering Bayesian and production ML systems at Fulcrum Analytics and Thomson Reuters Labs. An active open-source contributor, he implemented and tested inverse CDFs for multiple distributions in the widely used PyMC probabilistic programming library, reflecting deep numerical and statistical expertise. He teaches practical dashboard development on his YouTube channel and is fluent in English and Portuguese, bringing cross-cultural perspective from work in Brazil and the U.S. Known for turning complex analyses into clear visual stories, he pairs technical rigor with product-focused impact.

Contributions summary:Adriano primarily contributed to the implementation of inverse cumulative distribution functions (ICDF) for various statistical distributions within the PyMC library. Their work focused on adding and testing ICDF functions for continuous distributions such as Cauchy, Logistic, Lognormal, and others. They also updated test suites to ensure the correctness of the implemented functions, demonstrating a strong understanding of probability distributions and numerical methods.
