Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJerad Acosta is an education-focused data and product professional with 12 years of experience building data-driven dashboards, mobile apps, and rapid IoT prototypes that turn messy data into actionable strategy. As Education Manager at EPATT and a longtime independent data consultant, he designs instructional materials and automated analytics that save costs for public schools and help clients extract value fast. He combines formal training in applied mathematics, cognitive science, and data science with hands-on engineering—from iOS app releases that spotlight Polynesian surf culture to EEG and haptics research prototypes. Comfortable across R, Python, SQL, Docker and embedded systems, Jerad excels at translating ethnographic insight into pragmatic technical solutions and low-maintenance products. He’s equally at home mentoring tutors and shipping App Store releases, demonstrating a rare mix of pedagogy, product intuition, and technical execution. One less obvious strength: he consistently leverages casual conversation and fieldwork to reveal overlooked opportunities that materially reduce time and cost for stakeholders.
