Summary
Henry Cyranka is a Lead Data Scientist with eight years of experience turning complex datasets into actionable business outcomes across healthcare, media, advertising, and political campaigns. He combines rigorous academic training in statistics and political science from the University of Chicago with hands-on expertise in predictive modeling, time series, causal inference, and production analytics on GCP, Python/R, and DBT. At companies like Spotify and CVS Health he built anomaly detection, forecasting, and measurement systems and led teams to deliver audience products and automated workflows that shortened decision cycles. As co-founder of BattlegroundAI he applies LLMs to automate content for small progressive campaigns and non-profits—a project recognized by a Higher Ground Labs grant in 2023. Comfortable bridging research and product, he often transforms academic-grade methods into practical dashboards and self-service tools for cross-functional stakeholders. An early background in political analytics gives him a nuanced edge in modeling human behavior and campaign-focused interventions.
