Summary
Chris Comiskey is a PhD-trained statistician and Senior Data Scientist with 9 years of experience applying advanced time series, probabilistic, and anomaly-detection methods to business problems across consumer markets, operations, and finance. Currently at KPN he builds SARIMAX forecasting pipelines, multi-armed bandits, and reinforcement learning agents to optimize customer service, routing, and personalized marketing. His background includes driving €100m+ inventory decisions at adidas via probabilistic demand forecasts and inventing hierarchical sampling and optimal overbuy techniques for eCommerce. Comfortable in production tooling (AWS SageMaker, Dataiku, Docker, Git) and both R and Python ecosystems, he blends rigorous academic methods with pragmatic engineering to deliver operational models. He’s skilled at reframing problems—prioritizing the right question and measurable goal—so models translate directly into business impact. Based in the Netherlands, he pairs deep spatial and time-series research from his PhD with hands-on deployment experience across telecom and retail.
