Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Wiesenthal is a Staff Data Scientist and machine learning leader with a decade of experience turning research-grade AI and HCI insight into production data products and recommendation systems. He pairs an MS in Computer Science and BS in Symbolic Systems from Stanford with hands-on engineering—cofounding and CTOing multiple startups and shipping end-to-end ML pipelines at Stitch Fix to optimize assortment, sizing, and personalized recommendations. Comfortable bridging technical and non-technical stakeholders, he has led teams, taught immersive data science programs, and created scalable, interpretable systems that centralize metrics and align cross-functional business needs. His background in linguistics, cognitive psychology, and early research on sentiment flowing through networks gives him a rare ability to design models that prioritize human experience as much as predictive performance. Outside work he’s driven by entrepreneurship, teaching, and a love of coffee—so he’s equally likely to debug a model or spark a new collaboration over a cup.
