Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlos Valcarcel is a Senior Data Scientist based in Berkeley with eight years of experience applying causal inference, experimentation, and data engineering to education and social-impact problems. At Khan Academy he drives analytics for Marketing and Philanthropy—designing experiments, building dashboards, and forecasting to measure and grow reach, engagement, and donations. His background blends university research and product-facing analytics (UC Berkeley, ASU, EdPlus) with hands-on ML and CV work for cognitive and therapeutic games, showing fluency across qualitative mixed-methods and production tooling (SQL, Python, Plotly, GDS). He also founded a harm-reduction nonprofit that ran certified therapist trainings and led IRB-backed mixed-methods studies, demonstrating rare experience scaling research into programs and operations. Comfortable moving from literature reviews and human-subjects design to dashboard automation and causal impact work, he ties analytic insight to concrete market and policy opportunities. Colleagues describe him as a builder who obsessively documents and automates reproducible research workflows—an engineer of growth engines for mission-driven organizations.
