Summary
Blake Hillier is a data scientist with nine years of experience building production data pipelines, analytic models, and integration systems from Austin, Texas. With a Master's in Computational and Applied Mathematics and a strong applied-math background, he blends rigorous quantitative thinking with hands-on engineering—having led analytics startups, built Snowflake-based data models, and stood up ingestion pipelines for multiple organizations. He has moved between roles from integration developer to data engineer and now data scientist, demonstrating a knack for turning messy source systems into accessible, business-ready datasets. Blake pairs technical skills in Python and SQL with practical product sense, having co-founded a small software venture and helped nonprofits redesign their database workflows. Colleagues rely on him to make data usable for non-technical stakeholders and to drive data-driven culture and project prioritization across leadership. An avid learner, he supplements formal training with multiple certifications and a history of prototyping optimization and simulation features in early-career engineering roles.
