Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArdalan Mirshani is a Co-Founder and Senior Expert Data Scientist based in Chicago with a decade of experience building generative AI and data science products that bridge research and production. He designs AI-focused product architectures and reusable analytics tooling—R packages, Shiny apps, and high-performance workflows—used to accelerate ML projects and internal training at Novartis. His PhD in Statistics underpins work on high-dimensional functional regression, differential privacy for functional data, and C++-backed R tooling, reflecting a blend of rigorous research and pragmatic engineering. Ardalan has repeatedly turned interactive visualizations and reproducible scientific templates into production-quality assets, and he leverages that craft to launch MyLens.ai and consult across pharma and startups. A less obvious strength is his end-to-end ownership of deployment infrastructure—from Linux-hosted Shiny servers to automation and teaching materials—making him as comfortable mentoring teams as shipping code.
