Erik Lopez is a data scientist and former software engineer with 11 years of experience building and maintaining mission-critical trading systems and enterprise software using Java and Angular. He transitioned into data science through NYU CUSP, applying data-driven methods to urban challenges while completing a master's degree. His industry background includes senior engineering work at SIMON Markets and a multi-year software engineering tenure at Goldman Sachs, giving him a practical knack for reliable, production-grade systems. Erik combines backend engineering rigor with a growing portfolio of data research from his time at Coleridge Initiative, and he brings a New Urbanism perspective to analytical problems—often thinking about how models translate into safer streets and better city outcomes. Outside of work he’s an avid cyclist and urbanist, which informs his applied interest in transportation and public safety data.
