Summary
Gopi Goteti is an AVP Senior Research Scientist with 13 years of experience applying statistical and geospatial modeling to P&C and agricultural insurance, environmental consulting, and academia. He builds production-ready R and Python toolchains on Linux/Windows to churn large observational and modeled datasets into actionable loss estimates, stochastic generators, and visualization products used in catastrophe modeling. His work includes developing multisite stochastic rainfall generators, revising vulnerability functions from millions of claims, and automating QA and GIS workflows for national-scale flood mapping. Comfortable bridging research and production, he has repeatedly delivered rapid-response hazard footprints after major events and instantiated critical components of commercial modeling suites. Based in Johnston, Iowa, he pairs a PhD in Earth System Science with practical engineering chops from roles at RMS, EQECAT, and Rain and Hail, making him as effective at coding reproducible analytics as at interpreting their business impact.
