Senior🎓
Top SchoolMa Drilon is a data scientist with 10 years of cross-sector experience applying rigorous analytics to public policy, international development, and corporate problems, currently building open-data platforms and tooling at the World Bank Group. She pairs a rare academic blend—MS in Analytics and dual bachelor’s degrees in Applied Mathematical Finance and Philosophy—with hands-on skills in R, Python, SQL, and AWS to produce automated pipelines, interactive visualizations, and reproducible tools like the data360r package. Her work focuses on using data for poverty alleviation and education, running pilots that combine open and big data with field surveys to inform digital entrepreneurship and social protection programs. A former government monitoring-and-evaluation lead, she brings practical systems-building experience (including fast-deployed disaster monitoring databases) and a knack for translating evidence into actionable policy and training. Notably, she thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary teams and consistently turns complex data into stories and operational improvements that scale.
