Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCynthia Wu is a Lead Data Scientist based in the San Francisco Bay Area with seven years of experience specializing in A/B testing, quasi-experimental design, and personalization algorithm evaluation for web and mobile consumer products. She combines deep statistical rigor with production-grade tooling—SQL (Hive/Presto/Spark), Python, and automated data pipelines—to turn product hypotheses into measurable outcomes and scalable dashboards. At Disney Streaming and previously at Houzz she built in-house experimentation platforms, improved company-wide AB test infrastructure, and mentored junior analysts to raise team capabilities. Her background includes a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Stanford, bringing a strong experimental mindset and problem decomposition skills that inform both metric design and causal inference in complex product systems. Notably, she bridges research-grade methods and pragmatic product delivery, enabling faster, safer personalization iteration at scale.
