Senior🎓
Top SchoolLauren Li is a Senior Data Scientist in New York with 7 years of experience applying ML and analytics to healthcare, finance, and public-sector problems. Trained at the University of Chicago (MS in Computational Analysis and Public Policy), she blends rigorous causal and policy-oriented thinking with practical ML skills in Python, R, SQL, and TensorFlow to drive operational impact. At Aetna/CVS and previously IBM and the Fed, she built production models and tooling—from LSTM document extraction that halved review time to weak-supervision prototypes that slashed labeling needs by ~90%. Her background in equity derivatives and transportation research gives her a rare mix of quantitative finance intuition and systems thinking for large-scale data pipelines. Colleagues describe her as outcome-focused: she prioritizes solutions that reduce manual work and integrate smoothly into business workflows.
