Summary
Hyesoo Youn is a Senior Data Scientist with a PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and nine years of experience applying ML and causal inference to healthcare and financial products. She currently builds real-time fraud and financial risk detection systems at Intuit, and previously developed personalized treatment and NLP models for mental health at Ginger and diabetes-reversal analytics at Virta Health. Her background in neurobiology research gave her deep expertise in experimental design, 4D imaging analysis, and statistical rigor—skills she now applies to production ML, A/B experimentation, and data pipeline design. She also founded a menopause-diagnosis web tool during an Insight fellowship, demonstrating an ability to turn longitudinal biomedical data into user-facing products. Quietly bridging wet-lab intuition with scalable engineering, she excels at translating complex biological signals into robust, decision-ready models.
