Eric Bunch is an Assistant Director of Data Science with a decade of experience blending rigorous mathematical research and applied ML to solve business problems in insurance and fintech. He holds a Ph.D. in mathematics where he developed algebraic-geometry-inspired tools for studying monoids, a background he has parlayed into novel research applications such as metric space magnitude for machine learning. Eric has led production ML efforts—deploying PyTorch models, OCR pipelines, and human-in-the-loop topic discovery systems—and driven cross-functional analytics that improved customer targeting and document management. Comfortable with both theory and engineering, he taught himself software skills and advises learners at Codecademy, reflecting a commitment to practical education and reproducible workflows. Based in Milwaukee, he combines deep math instincts with product-focused delivery to extract signal from unstructured text and audio for finance and insurance use cases.
