Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKatherine Peterson is a data engineering manager in Denver with eight years of cross-industry experience translating messy data into actionable stories that drive decisions. Trained as a chemist with an MS in Chemical Biology, she pivoted into education and then data science, bringing scientific rigor to problems from student outcomes to hydraulic fracturing optimization. At Specialized she built scalable pipelines integrating 8+ sources for global analytics, and previously led A/B testing, Looker dashboards, and automated reporting to align stakeholders on canonical metrics. Her strengths span Python, SQL, supervised ML, visualization, and experiment design, with additional proficiency in NLP, time series, and biostatistics. A former teacher who turned school-wide assessment scraping into targeted interventions, she combines technical execution with a rare aptitude for stakeholder coaching and clear narrative. She maintains a public portfolio of data projects—ranging from crime test design to decades of NYT text analysis—that reflect her curiosity for social and industrial impact.
