Summary
Andy Haines is a data science consultant with 11 years of experience applying machine learning, predictive analytics and statistical methods to marketing and product strategy problems. He has built production-ready classification and time-series models using R and Python, implemented Random Forests and logistic regression with rigorous cross-validation, and reduced high-dimensional feature sets via SVD on web-scraped data. Equally fluent in technical model development and executive-facing strategy, Andy combines a background in senior marketing leadership with hands-on data work to translate analytic insights into commercial decisions. Based in Portola Valley, he pairs formal training in data analytics and Stanford’s machine learning curriculum with decades of go-to-market experience, enabling him to bridge the gap between algorithms and measurable business outcomes. An understated strength is his ability to pivot between digging into NLP/social-signal feature engineering and designing experiments (A/B, conjoint) that drive product and marketing direction.
