Summary
Charlie Ryecroft is a Senior Staff Data Scientist with nine years of experience applying econometric rigor and software engineering to adversarial problems like fraud, scams and risk. A former antitrust economist with a Cambridge BA and an MSc from UCL, he moved from econometric consulting into product-facing data science at Facebook and Deliveroo, where he now focuses on foundational data systems and cross-functional measurement challenges. He blends hands-on engineering (Ruby, Kafka, Protobuf) with data modelling and experimentation to redesign tracking architectures, define core business metrics, and quantify incident impact on the business. Notably, he has led ML efforts that materially cut payments abuse and continues to operate at the intersection of data science, data engineering and software engineering rather than in pure modeling.
