Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEverett Wetchler is a researcher and educator who blends a decade-plus of software and data-science experience with PhD-level work in social psychology to study subjective well-being and social relationships. After engineering roles at Google and leadership at the nonprofit Bayes Impact, he pivoted to data-driven policy and criminal-justice research before completing a doctoral program at UC Berkeley. He now lectures in statistics while investigating whether social lives can be quantified and improved through measurable “social nutrients,” a practical framing that bridges theory, policy, and design. Everett’s background gives him unusual fluency across production software, nonprofit impact work, and rigorous lab-and-field research, enabling projects that move from code to measurable social outcomes. Based in Oakland, he combines technical depth with a persistent focus on making societal systems—cities, policies, and institutions—better suited to human flourishing.
