Top SchoolKevin Ferris is a Lead Data Scientist with 11 years of experience translating sports data into strategic decision-making for professional teams, currently working with the Pittsburgh Penguins from Boulder, Colorado. He has led and scaled analytics teams, built forecasting and ML pipelines for MLB and NHL organizations, and developed novel metrics from billions of time-series points at Zelus Analytics. Equally comfortable consulting and running production models, he has a track record delivering automated pipelines, SQL-backed ETL enhancements, and actionable insights for franchises including the Angels, Rays, Brewers, and Red Sox. With a Master's in Statistics and a background in academia and even a JPL internship, he blends rigorous statistical foundations with practical deployment experience.
