Summary
Mark Morrissey is a data scientist based in New York with four years of applied analytics experience driving business impact at enterprises like Allstate and Disney Streaming. He combines rigorous training in applied mathematics (Columbia MS, USC BS) with practical ML and production data skills—SQL, Python, Spark, PyTorch, and NLP tools such as spaCy and Hugging Face—to turn messy data into actionable decisions. His work spans causal inference and experimentation, model optimization for home valuation and insurance inspection selection, and memory-efficient model engineering (e.g., shrinking a Random Forest footprint fivefold at Freddie Mac). Comfortable moving models from analysis to business-facing systems, he’s equally at home web-scraping and automating data pipelines as he is explaining trade-offs to stakeholders. Notably, he pairs theoretical curiosity (research in Galois theory and applied betting models) with a pragmatic focus on cost reduction and decision optimization.
