Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrina Seidel is a Staff Data Scientist with eight years of experience translating messy real-world data into production ML services that detect fraud, assess data quality, and extract retail insights. She has led and managed cross-functional data science teams at Premise and IBM, shipping GCP-based pipelines and computer vision models that evaluate tens of thousands of user-submitted tasks daily. Now at Shopify she partners broadly to harden platform offerings against bad actors, applying a blend of anomaly detection, NLP, and image-based signals. Her background in economics and policy research (Brookings, UNICEF) gives her a strong grounding in causal thinking and evaluation, which she pairs with hands-on ML engineering to move projects from prototype to reliable service. Known for building pragmatic data schemas and operational monitoring, she focuses on measurable business impact and scalable defenses rather than purely academic metrics.
