Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolClaire Tang is a data scientist with 11 years of experience who blends rigorous neuroscience research with practical software engineering to build data-driven products. With a PhD from UCSF, she discovered pitch-responsive regions of human auditory cortex by designing experiments and scaling analysis pipelines from raw neural signals to publication-ready results. She has applied those skills in industry roles at Samba TV and Waymo, translating large, noisy datasets into actionable insights and production-ready models. An active open-source contributor, Claire made substantial full-stack improvements to the popular Bokeh visualization library, including layout and hit-testing refinements and interactive widget work. Based in San Francisco, she brings a rare combination of experimental design intuition, statistical rigor, and hands-on coding experience across frontend and backend systems.
