Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Miller is a data scientist with 12 years of experience applying advanced analytics to international development and public policy, currently leading data work for Maryland’s Innovation Team in the Office of Governor Wes Moore. He spent nearly a decade at Development Initiatives building production-ready pipelines, scraping and parsing unconventional data (PDFs, SDMX), and creating D3 visualizations to inform poverty and humanitarian policy. Trained in international relations and public policy (William & Mary, MPP, 3.96), he pairs quantitative rigor—working with large microdata sets like DHS/MICS—with practical engagement across stakeholders and donors. His background includes field-facing research at AidData and a UN OCHA internship, giving him rare fluency across research, technical delivery, and policy translation. Colleagues note his curiosity for NLP and deep learning innovations applied in development contexts and a knack for turning messy global datasets into decision-ready insight.
