Senior🎓
Top SchoolKian Ghodoussi is a Staff Data Scientist with 8 years of experience building experimentation platforms, real-time data infrastructure, and ML systems that drive measurable business impact. He has a research background in explainable Bayesian statistics and has applied that expertise across startups and scale-ups—leading Invoca’s Labs to close $30M+ in upsells through RAG, LLMs, and Bayesian-driven products. Kian has moved large data pipelines and optimizations in production (Spark, Delta Lake, BigQuery) that cut ETL and pipeline compute times by orders of magnitude, and has shipped bandit-based personalization that boosted CTR by 47%. Now at Sturdy Statistics in Santa Barbara, he blends rigorous research with product-focused engineering, and his open-source speech-to-text alignment work demonstrates a consistent track record of squeezing extra performance from models and systems.
