Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolField Cady is a data engineer and applied-math researcher with 11+ years of experience building production analytics and machine learning systems for startups, nonprofits, and major enterprises. He blends a hacker’s mentality with rigorous probabilistic modeling—shipping Python-first prototypes that scale into production code in C++ and Scala when needed. His work ranges from redesigning SciPy’s interpolation module and inventing a continuous-time HMM Python package to leading analytics at Semantic Scholar and building task-mining algorithms at Zeitworks. As a consultant he helps organizations adopt data science best practices and has driven measurable business impact, including a 50x cost reduction in testing frameworks at Walgreens. He’s also an author of two Wiley books and several public projects (including tools to map overstocked alpine lakes) that reflect a taste for practical, broadly useful research. Based in Edmonds, WA, he currently applies his metadata expertise at Meta while continuing independent consulting and open-source development.
